“My grandmother doesn’t know who I am these days. She has dementia, but in this moment, she was the Connie Adams I grew up with. My grandmother crossed #AlphaKappaAlpha in the early #1960s in the #FAMU #BetaAlpha chapter. She was an active member until the days her vision and memory started to disappear. (Sidenote: Her aunt was a Zeta, so she went against the grain and started a tradition in our family.) When it came time to sing the #AKAHymn at my cousin’s wedding, I was hesitant to have her join in because of her memory. But she knew every word, and she was singing loud! (My grandma was a regular in the church choir.) Singing the hymn holding her hand made me well up in tears.🥺 She doesn’t know I’m her granddaughter, but she knows I’m her soror. Dementia takes so much from us, but the Alpha Kappa Alpha sisterhood still bonds us. 💚💗 I’m so thankful for this new memory with her.“ - jcruel Let’s all show jcruel and her grandmother all the warmth and love!
