Hello again
I don't fool myself into thinking that mom is all right. I know this is not the same women who raised me.The vibrant, caring person she used to be.
You know what, yes she is. Mom is there, under the problems associated with the strokes and dementia. OK yes the strokes have made her dependent on everyone.
I still have conversations with my mother. I know she can't do allot of things anymore. That she can't speak. Use her left arm and hand. She tries though.
I know there are problems. But I don't want mom to be treated so differently that she gets depressed. I know mom is aware of what is happening to her.
And mom knows that I will always be their for her, taking care of her. And this makes her happy
That is all that matters.
Mom's happiness.
Until the end. And I hope that is a long ways off.
GOD bless and good night.
