I find it all very very sad. Trying to live with a broken brain.
My in-laws were out with some physician friends, they later told my FIL, it looked like M. might have early onset Alzheimer’s. She lived in her house for many years after, then many more in a local facility.
I felt that she was cognizant of the conversation but unable to respond. Total hell for her.
She was a fun and outgoing woman.
She was a Miss Manners and dinner was near formal.
For fun, I would occasionally question a rule.
All food items had a specific direction of flow, so I ask if that was as viewed from above or below to determine the rotation?
She had no answer, I got her!
Sadly it was the Alzheimer’s that had her.
In years past she would have explained the rule and the origin.
I miss her, we had much fun over the years.
Sad. I’m with my mom every day but I miss her too. It’s hard not to be angry at whatever took her away. She doesn’t understand how damaged her brain is. It’s like having a large toddler who know way too much and thinks she can do things.
