Left Page: "Sunny Summers. Red. Red is a fading sunset on the horizon. It's a burst of flame; A spray of the flare leaping towards us. It's the heat of the warm afternoon. It's the face of an angry teacher. It can also be an embarrassed pupil. It's a flickering flame of a tiny candle. It's the spark able to spread the wildfire of love. Red is the color of heat. It's full of passion. It's bold. Red won't tolerate injustice. It's hard and unfortunately stubborn. Red will never give in, Even when it needs to. Red has the brawn of an ox, The skill of a pride of lions, And even the diligence of a colony of fire ants. It does not back down or grow weary. Red stands his ground firmly. It's charming and romantic. Red is like a harvest of fresh raspberries: Satisfyingly and deliciously juicy. Red is optimistic. Red is the color of a rising dawn that glides across the morning sky and through the misty white clouds. It's the hot July sun, beating down on your entire body, and filling you with warmth. It's the thorn that gets to prick your fingers when you choose to hold it. But it's also a precious rose, that will always smell sweeter and sweeter than before. Red, by any other name, would still remain red."

It is on the themes of Alzheimers / family / imbalance of responsibility / Christmas / lost lore / partnership. With a theme of an understanding Kazakhstani caretaker woven in.
There were brochures on Alzheimer's and dementia.
