The Great Plotnik

Moms

Plot's friend Sal wrote yesterday that her mother asked her:  "Are you the only one in your family? Is your mother still alive?" and Sal answered "I think so."

This dementia business is serious stuff, and Sal's an only child. It makes Plottie realize he and his brother Shmeckl still have it easy.  Ducknik said this morning: "it sounds like your Mom is starting to enjoy life again. She sounds so much better." It does seem that way.

Plottie's partner WoG was at the hospital all day yesterday with his mother, who was having surgery. WoG's mom doesn't seem to do much these days when she's home -- just kind of sits on the sofa and stares. Sal's mom doesn't even know who Sal is. Plottie is feeling thankful right now.

Enjoy everyday that you have her...relish in the joys and good things and try not to be as caught up in that which is less wonderful and continue to be thankful for what she has left!
It really can be a roller coaster...
Hugs and Love to all of you!
