Happy belated thanksgiving…
Ours was weird this year as my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s a few months ago and has declined rapidly - so it’s bittersweet - glad to still have her although she struggles to remember us - she’s only 70 and physically in great shape she can no longer care for herself.
It’s difficult to describe missing someone when they are still right in front of you.
We are lucky though, many with Alzheimer’s get angry easily - but my mom doesn’t- she’s crazy sweet and fun. Whenever she sees me we have to do a dance party. She loves to tell my Alexa to play Rod Stewart haha then shimmies her a$$ off. She kept forgetting we already had a “dance party” - So yeah our Thanksgiving consisted of carbs and Rod Stewart. Rinse and repeat.
