It turns out that her beautiful grandmother, Nana Lilly, suffers from dementia. And while this disease certainly has taken its toll on her over the years, Maxine decided she was going to try something very special with her nana, just to see if it would work.
While some specialists are unsure of "cuddle therapy," many others believe that giving someone suffering from dementia a baby doll has incredibly healthy effects. Giving someone suffering from this horrible disease a lifelike baby doll to look after and care for often creates a new sense of responsibility for the senior citizen.
The second that Nana Lilly picks up the baby doll, you can see her eyes light up in utter joy and excitement. When you see how she plays with her new little baby doll with such care and love, it's heartwarming to know that this video is going viral for all of the right reasons!
Schools specializing in the treatment of dementia are beginning to show this video to their students as well, noting the successful nature of "cuddle therapy." They think that holding a baby brings their minds back to the joys of being a new parent, and looking at Nana Lilly's reaction shows that joy.
