After losing her partner of 61 years of marital relationship, Thelma withstands leaving her house until her kids decide that it is too hazardous for her to live in the house alone and move her into a retirement home. She is subsequently diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia, a devastating neurological disease, that gradually robs her of her physical health and mental clarity. Interweaving present events with intimate memories and reality with hallucinations, Thelma tells a lovely story of the love between her and Ed, Father, Papa– her other half, the father of their kids, the grandfather of their grandchildren– and their deep love for their family. Sunshine is heartbreaking and troubling yet eventually heartfelt and uplifting. Thelma will end up being a precious member of the family as you experience with her the loss of her hubby, her memory, her physical health and ultimately her life. And now faith, hope and love remain, but the best of these is love. I Corinthians 13: 13
