Just a quick writing today. I am extremely grateful to have the opportunity to watch over Mom. Yes, it is a lot of work! Its draining emotionally, financially, and socially. Again, I would not trade it for the world! Its very sad to see someone slip away, but with Mom's particular dementia she is still alert to what's going on. She may not be able to express it with the right words but she's here with us. She is just smiling away today as I greeted her this morning with my regular Good Morning but than added Happy Mother's Day.
We are going to go get Mom's Mom (yes that's right, 93 year old Grandma) and bring her over (yes she still lives on her own), and have a southern barbecue. Its funny how life works. Grandma is 93 and pretty much independent and her daughter (Mom) is completely dependent. I am very fortunate to have these women in my life.
An additional note, thank you Mom number 2 (Carol) for being a wonderful loving part of my life and to my mother-in-law (Beverly) for accepting me as your daughter in law with open arms! Happy Mother's Day to all and until next time-hang tight!
