My sister and I want to see our stepmother Florence today. She has dementia and her memory is very poor. She remembered us, but she doesn’t remember our dad. Doesn’t even ask about him. But I guess that’s a blessing in a way

So sad. But a lovely image.

at my age I hate reading stories like this

It is terribly sad to hear things like this. Amazing how memory works. What a cruel disorder / affliction

@narayani @seacreature we are totally perplexed that she doesn’t seem to remember him. But on the other hand, I was afraid she would wake up every day to learn that her husband had died and have to relive that trauma day after day. But that’s not the case at all and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.

@peterday I’m sorry Peter, I don’t like reading about it either. It’s a very cruel disease but for her, she seems content.
