Amen! My beloved Mother is 92. When I visit she doesn’t even know me. ... But I know who she is so I keep visiting when I’m able. In fairness to her though, she was completely there just five years ago. Folks in my families tend ot live a long time. The last three years have been anything but worthwhile for Mom, but she used to say she was going to live to be 100. By golly, she just might do it, even though she won’t know she’s there!
Here’s Lady Bird Johnson not long before her death:

Totally blind and confined to a wheelchair. I don’t think I’d want to live into my 90s if I had to end up like that.
