Love One Another
THE NEED TO LOVE and be loved is one of the strongest of the four basic human needs. it is also a spiritual need. Even if a person can no longer express himself verbally, cannot demonstrate intellectual ability, and has no memory, at some level he can intuit meanings and feelings from the tone of voice and body language of people interacting with him.

No Act of Love Is Ever Wasted: The Spirituality of Caring for Persons with Dementia (The Upper Room Website)
We need to love one another. Even though this might be forgotten because we’re somehow just too busy with ourselves, but God wants us to love one another as He has loved us. And the experience of Jane and Richard as they care for persons with dementia, should give us one great reminder. That the need to love and be loved is one of the strongest basic need. So, let’s spread our love to this world today. (-fon-)
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
--- John 13:34
