Been there...with my mother.

Take it one day a a time. Your attitude is what's important, IMO. We enjoyed and laughed at the funny things she said and did. I shared with my friends some of the funny things she did. She passed two years ago at the age of 94 after being bedridden the last five years.

Even today it isn't unusual for a friend to remind me of something funny my mother said or did...and we have a good memory, shared again with a laugh. More often than not it is something I had forgotten and I'm happy for the reminder.

Attitude is everything!

Thank you. Yes, a sense of humor helps, and Dad still has some of his. We do laugh! He comes out with some funny comments when the family talks. It’s not always so funny but I am glad there are still those times.
