An 80-year-old grandmother from Alberta who suffers from dementia doesn’t remember names or faces—but she does remember music. She lights up and starts singing along whenever her granddaughter plays “Scotland the Brave” on the cello.

“We play so many songs, and my grandmother loves them; she‘ll sing along and cry, especially to the ones like ’Can’t Help Falling in Love‘ or ’Amazing Grace.' But with this one, for some reason, she starts dancing along and singing along. That’s her song, and we play it many, many times,” Kathryn Fakeley, 2o, told The Epoch Times.
