One Friday, police officers got a 911 call from a woman who reported her 81-year-old mother Roberta missing. It seems her mother left her house to take her daily walk, but she didn’t return to her Charles County, Maryland home. Things got a bit scary because the woman’s mother has dementia(痴呆).
Officer B. Morrison and other 4 partners came and began a search. After 40 minutes, the old woman was found walking along a path near her home. At first, she seemed confused at the sudden appearance of police officers on the tree-lined trail, and she asked if the officers were out taking a walk too. They quietly replied “Yes”, after all, it was a beautiful day. And then she seemed relieved and told them she had lost her way. “No problem,” said Officer Morrison. He then gently took her hand and, along with the other officers walked her back to her house.
Along the way, the officers made small talk with the old woman. When asked what the key to a long, healthy life was, the woman replied, “Eat good and stay active.” In this case, a frightening situation for the family ended happily.
