Jean Francois

Yesterday it was new Years reception and dessert buffet for the retirement home residents from our departement. We have about 31 residents , mostly people who live with dementia . She was sitting quietly with her pet.
She has been living for some time in Canada and after retirement went back to Belgium. Last year she lost her husband and is constantly in search for him. We can t say he expired coz she won t believe. So we tell  her , he is gone to work and will arrive in evening. Sometimes it works sometimes not.
I asked if her pet is a male one?  She confirmed my answer. Oh then he must have the name Jean francois ,,( because she s raised in french language ). She was thinking for a momen t and answered with a smile" Qui c' est Jean Francois.
