Meet John. John is 92 years-old and his wife has just passed. He is all alone in his home and surrounded by all the memories it brings. He remembers working in the yard as his children played, teaching them how to ride a bike, and having barbecues on the deck. He cherishes the memories of holiday meals in the dining room, watching Flames games in the family room, and countless game nights around the kitchen table.
