Mom and I were walking the dogs last week and I was lost in thought thinking about my upcoming trip to Maine. I caught myself talking to myself and said to mom, "I'm just talking to myself."
She responded, "Well as long as you don't answer yourself you are ok."
I chuckled to myself and thought with all her deficits she continues to surprise me with her quick wit.
Lilybird, Lily, or Nana Lily are the affectionate names we call my mother who lived with us for 3 years. Living in the moment is a reflection of our family’s decision to focus on the humorous aspects of our journey through Alzheimer’s disease. This blog is inspired by her courage, stubbornness, and humor living with this relentless disease. I hope you enjoy my posts and may my posts encourage you to look through the clouds for a ray of sunshine.
