The first time I met him; I wasn't even at the facility to see him. He was in the lobby staring at the piano off in the corner. He looked at me as I walked by and stated "ya know I used to play and sing" I followed with "really, that's awesome" when he spoke again it was as if he was trailing off to another world as he stated

" That was when the "church" accepted the song I had to sing"

The next time I saw him his condition had worsened and I was there to offer services of a chaplain. When I entered his room he said I remember you. You are the one who stopped to listen. I responded with " yeah I remember you're the gospel singer". He laughed at that and stated " you forgot old because that was a long time ago" And his focus tapered off after that as if he was lost in another time. I could almost hear...
