Dementia–and the several diseases that fall under the collective name–is much more than impaired memory.

Through a series of short stories, the real-life accounts of caring for a loved one with dementia are told by the patient’s son.

In 2013, Phil Gallaher began showing signs of dementia. In 2018, he scored a zero, the worst possible score, on the standard test for dementia.

From 2018-2020, Phil’s wife, Diane, his son, Pax, and his daughter-in-law, Cindy cared for him. Working two weeks on/two weeks off, Pax, Cindy, and Diane would push themselves to their physical and emotional limits. They also grew closer and found new ways to love one another.

Told through Pax’s straightforward, descriptive, and often humorous perspective, the Gallaher family history is chronicled.

From the real-life journals of the author, the short story series, That Moment in Time describes what dementia really looks like.
