It's hard to see someone you love that have dementia. You know they are there in your presence but they're not really there, mentally. My grandmother has dementia and she just recently moved in to live with my mother. So, I try to drive there to help my mother out when I can. My grandmother can remember some stuff and when it comes to me, she is able to remember me but not when she gets to see her other granddaughter (my cousin). Some days, it's good but some days, it gets really bad. Hang in there, girl. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to pray for you too.

Have no problem with prayer at all.
Most days it seems like my brothers could care less about how much I have to deal with regarding my mother. She lives with me and even when I lived within 15 miles of my oldest brother, he still never came to see our mother or offer me any help at all. I know the dementia has progressed more since we left Missouri, but if I email either of my brothers, they ignore me. I can email both my uncles, who are mom's brothers and one of them will VP me and we will chat for an hour or so. The other one of her brothers I have to stop emailing as he is forgetting who I am. I didn't realize his alzheimer's was so far progressed as it is.

There are some certain fishes I don't like to eat but in general, I do like to eat fishes. As you know, tuna is the #1 on the list that I definitely refuse to eat (gags) lol
It's funny because back then I looked at sushi like it was a gross thing to eat but it wasn't until not too long ago that a friend coaxed me to eat it on a dare lol. Now I love to eat it!
Today, I am thinking of a great friend that while I have never physically met her, I have heard that she got a package I sent to her. In it was something I was willing to give to show how much she has been a great help and support to me over the years.[/QUOTE
