I visited mom today. She didn't recognize me when I first got there. She's gotten to the point now where she has to be reminded who someone is, & after some prompting she remembered me. At some point I know she won't remember me at all.
@Impious_Jade Dear Impious, yes, l know its hard. Long after my mom forgot our names, or that she had children, she was happy to see us, even when her words were garbled or gone, there was something of her still there. Courage! Hugs!

@KarenSohne Thanks. I was able to read a bit of one of her favorite childhood books to her today. Not a bunch, she was too easily distracted, but she seemed to enjoy it.
@Impious_Jade My mom always loved babies, we debated the infantilizing vs comfort, she had baby dolls and a few stuffed animals as company. There was a board book she loved, it was all sweet little baby drawings, babies crawling, eating, crying, sleeping. She loved that book!
