MAQ introduces the newest member of his family. A big Dementia Diaries welcome to Yaqub.

Online Zoom meeting:

Maq: Before I say anything else let me just show you something, and then we’ll go on to that. I’ve got to show you this. I just have to show everybody this. [cradling a baby boy]. Ah, look at this!

Steve: Hello!

Maq: Look at that.  I have to make sure – everybody has been praying for him, and there is the result. Somebody up there was listening and he has recovered beautifully.

Steve: That is amazing.  Oh, bless him. It’s so nice to see him – because the last time we saw him Maq, there were wires going in and out weren’t there.

Maq: That’s right, yeah. He is kicking and he’s laughing and he’s smiling, and he’s talking and he is doing all the gestures under the world.

Steve: And he’s been sitting quietly in the last hour and thirteen minutes of a Dementia Diaries Zoom, which is pretty good going –

Tim: – He had his hand up at one time.

Maq: We are all changed and we’re all happy and fed, and we’re going to have a nap now, so. We just wanted to say hello.

Steve: Hello.

Maq: Thank you everybody for praying for me!

Steve: How wonderful. [pause] Do you know, that’s completely thrown me now!
