Good story. Did a great job depicting the heartbreak that comes with dementia. Also, there are plenty of scumbags in the world like the "childhood friend." My sister had a college friend who was well over six feet tall. I nearly got arrested in a club for starting a fight when two assholes started making loud remarks starting with, "Who let the f*&^ing giraffe in here." I took a few good ones, but really enjoyed breaking that guy's nose.
