Hello everyone - hope your having a great first week of the new year! In this video, we do a little dancing and act silly. Music is good for those with dementia and can provide relaxation as well as fun and excercise. I have music playing most of the day in our home and we sometimes get silly and dance when a good beat comes on. "Rise" the song we are dancing to, is an instrumental written by Andy Armer and Randy Alpert, first recorded in 1979 by trumpeter Herb Alpert. Yes, I know that I can't dance, can't keep a beat and have no rhythm! That's ok, cause Theresa is smiling and happy! Have a good laugh, act silly and play some music for your loved one!!
You dance just fine! Is Theresa easily distracted now? You really do great keeping her engaged. My Dad passed ( at 90 ) with dementia/Alz.. One of my worst memories was after my Mom passed & he would call asking if we had seen her. Heartbreaking. Watching you guys continue your love story together is so very heartwarming.
Can’t dance??? Everybody can dance! Everybody SHOULD dance! You two have brought me so much joy with this video ❤️ I’d LOVE to see more. Do you take requests? 😂 My husband had a stroke 15 years ago, and before his stroke, he’d rarely dance with me. But now, we’ll dance anytime and anywhere. Happy New Year from the east coast of Florida 🌞 “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” ❤️
It was great fun to dance with her and make this video. I will cherish it forever. Thank you for your comment and for sharing about your husband. Much Love and Happy New Year from the west coast of FL !!
I wished I'd found your channel before Teresa passed away.That was Beautiful.Your such a Wonderful husband.God bless you in your days and weeks to come.❤❤❤
Jeepers do I ever love your love for your darling. You lead while letting her lead; you know how to read her and provide exactly what she needs during each moment you share with us. This was such a joy to watch. Happy New Year, Mr. & Mrs. Pippen.
@@ravenraven966 There's a thing called "RPD" Rapidly Progressive Dementia. This presents a scenario where a person suffering from this disease can experience an incredibly rapid decline in cognitive skill over the course of days or weeks. RPD can be fatal. It's also something that when detected early enough can sometimes be treated, but not always.
My uncle had dementia and in his final months he was bed bound, no longer spoke. But every night my Aunt would sing old songs and he would join in, singing the words. I also remember Gabby Gifford singing before speaking during her recovery. I heard it’s a different area of the brain for verbal retrieval. May be helpful in the future. It’s great so see you enjoying yourselves 😊
I’ve heard music is the last thing people forget! You both demonstrated how much you cared, and loved each other! So sad I know, as 3 family members of mine passed away with it including my husband in 2017. We want to remember the good moments that we were engaged with them.❤❤
Yeah, shake that booty. I was dancing with you and waving back - lol. You two are definitely an internet sensation now !! Hugs and Prayers for the new year. One day at a time.
At end of life my dad had to put into a local hospice care home.. he never sang in his life.. even at church but end of life he sang loudly! Istill remember that! Thanks for the memories
Yay !! Yes you can dance and keep the rhythm ! Keeping Theresa from getting distracted and there she goes with her moves. I really noticed it at first when you were holding her and dancing ❤❤
Trey, I don't know how I missed this beautiful, fun, video. It makes my heart smile to see you both having so much fun. I know you miss her every day. Continued prayers for you as you continue on in your new journey. I hope for years to come, people who have a newly diagnosed family member will find these videos. They are treasures and although each loved ones journey is different, your videos represent the common threads. You leave Teresa with a very beautiful legacy. God Bless.
Thank you for your comment and prayers. This was a fun video to make. I haven’t gone back to watch any of our videos yet but glad it’s there when I’m ready. God bless
Hi Trey, this is so beautiful. Heather watched it with rapt attention. I explained what was going on but I don’t think any of it sunk in. She stopped dancing a couple of months ago but I keep trying. I’m so sorry for the loss of your love my friend. My heart goes out to you.
Thank you for giving us such a wonderful start to the New Year. She is so safe with you! Actions speak louder than words. Seeing her dance, shear Joy. Thank you again🌈🦋
Who would have thought things would go the way they did. Thank you for sharing your life with the world. My husband died of Parkinson’s/dementia January 1st. I know how much you miss her. Prayers!
I absolutely love y’all..loved the video, and it was so good to see Theresa laugh and smile❣️Trey you are one in a million..Happy,Healthy 🙏🏼 New Year for you both💃🏻🕺🏻🎶🆒🪩
I knew there was a special reason why I ❤ you both...that's my favorite instrumental, oh man Theresa remembers it she's having the time of her life. Happy new year. Keep on dancing
I used to work st a long term care facility. One day on the locked unit a resident was trying to leave with a visitor. Telling her by staff she couldn't go wasn't working. I went over on the spur of the moment and linked my arm through hers and started singing walking down the street one day in the merry month of May. She immediately forgot about leaving and we strolled throughout the halls singing. It was magical. 🇨🇦
That was so awesome that you did some dancing with Theresa. I work in a memory care facility doing Life Enrichment for the residents and music is a genre they all enjoy no matter what type of dementia/Alzheimers they have - really enjoy seeing her giggle and having fun. Your Awesome Trey! 🎉
Bravo! I enjoyed every minute of this. Thank you it's giving me some thought. I said earlier how good it is for us in so many ways so I think it's time that I took my own advice. I don't have a partner but I can still get up and dance. Thank you thank you. And you too just keep rocking 💃🕺
What a beautiful video, my Condolences to you and Family, know that Jesus is with you to give you his strength to get through this time when you need him 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
This video warms my heart. 🥰Thank both of you for your videos and willingness to help others going through the same thing. Trey, you are a true blessing. I admire your love for each other. 🙏🏽
Trey, I just saw that Theresa passed away, I had followed your journey together and looking back on her laughter and smiles makes me cry with appreciation. Thank you for sharing with us, and may you find comfort in the knowledge that she was loved deeply and fully. She is no longer suffering, you did a beautiful job supporting her. Blessing to you as you move forward into life.
Wow usted fue un gran esposo y ella una mujer muy afortunada, que descanse en paz Theresa y usted puede tener la seguridad que ella está con Dios y usted la va a volver a ver.
God bless you, Trey. The way you care for and love Theresa. Her life is infinitely enhanced because of it. You’ve brought so much joy to her and those of us who have had the pleasure of sharing in on your lives.. I pray your videos are an encouragement to all those walking this journey. Many many blessings to you and Theresa. May God continue to strengthen and encourage you as you walk out your wedding vows….. for better or for worse. God bless you! ❤❤
i just love seeing a married couple dancing together. At home!!!!!! What an enjoyable demonstration of mutual love and pleasure of being together. Beautiful ❤️

I’m watching this after her passing. I’m so moved, I can’t help but weep. What an adorable couple. 💜
Hard to believe 2 months later she passes away. She seems so content and happy here.
Love hearing Theresa laugh and seeing that big smile. What a blessing you are, Trey!
Amazing how the beat always remains

She looks great. I can’t believe this is only two months ago. May you take comfort in these good times.
I don't understand this rapid decline... I'm so confused....

This was the Luke and Laura "song" from General Hospital, back when I was in high school.
You are a lovely couple. You dance so nice together. You both know how to dance - stop teasing us. Love you both.

@@tpippen75 I sent you an email with picture of my husband and I dancing❤️
I got it and just replied !
This is beautiful Trey ☺☺☺
Awe, love it!!! Love Theresa's laughter!!❤❤
Music heals the soul. Many people with dementia and Alzheimer’s respond so positively from listening to music ❤
The power of music is amazing. I played all of mom’s favorite songs as she passed, and I’m certain she was singing along with me beyond the veil.
❤❤I LOVE THIS❤️❤️ Music is very therapeutic and touches parts of our brains other things can’t reach!! Way to go Trey and Theresa ❤️
Theresa has the moves for sure! I thought I was the only one who listened to Herbl Albert.
Dear Trey my heart goes out to you n your family you were such a good husband to Theresa I know she will be truly missed with sympathy Jean❤❤❤
