My mom had Alzheimer...Nice and meaningful post.<br /><br />My mom had Alzheimer's. Luckily at the end she still knew me and my sisters. (I miss her every day)<br /><br />But she thought my dad was still alive and always asked when he was coming to visit. If we told her he had passed away she would get very upset and deny it. So usually we just said, "It's too hot out today, Mom" or "he's tired today", something like that.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04505675063769786300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4968806368036672600.post-84196384391497369602009-08-02T13:11:01.968-07:002009-08-02T13:11:01.968-07:00Thanks for commenting sputnitsa and it's alway...Thanks for commenting sputnitsa and it's always wonderful to see you again Roger.<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear about your granny. <br /><br />We are what we remember.<br /><br />I heard once that the word "education" came from the Greek word "educare" which means "to remember." But does that mean we remember the new things we learn or does that mean we remember those things we always knew and just temporarily forgot?Carol Kabathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816310649660118665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4968806368036672600.post-3342841218085160912009-07-28T19:37:14.931-07:002009-07-28T19:37:14.931-07:00I see it from a different view.

But you could have seen the gum on the floor, the vagrant outside begging- instead, you noticed the fun.<br /><br />Why not remember the fun and the love- instead of the random details?<br /><br />My granny is getting that bad, confusing her kids, and geting angry when she doesn't know what is going on; but when she gets too bad, they call the son that is most like his dad (her husband); and he calms her down. She still has the feelings- as we all do.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09573147378768983457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4968806368036672600.post-87436997064408573572009-07-25T17:18:30.134-07:002009-07-25T17:18:30.134-07:00What a vivid image, that poor woman shaken by her ...What a vivid image, that poor woman shaken by her image in the mirror...<br /><br />I almost posted about memory and photos today, too. :) Is nostalgia in the air? <br /><br />Great post :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
