My wife has stage 2 Alzheimer’s and enjoys looking at old photos. I am using a digital photo frame and I’m in the process of loading it with pictures from the past. Pictures from her childhood, pictures of her parents, grandchildren and pictures of our life together for 47 years. I hope someone fins this helpful.
