A very sweet and sad story, thank you for posting. :) Someone's last moments are sometimes the most precious.
Reminds me of me having visited my dying grandfather when I was a boy. He had Alzheimer's disease and was completely lost to this world. As his condition got worse my parents didn't want me to visit him in a nursing home as they thought I would be sad and wouldn't understand why he wasn't recognizing who I am.
Yet when he saw me, he seemed to recognize me, grabbed me by the hand and gave a huge and lasting smile. He hasn't recognized anyone in months, as they told me. The moment touched me profoundly. It seemed to bring him some real happiness and I'm very glad they let me see him. He passed away a few days later.
