A few nights ago I picked Mom up and brought her back with me to watch "Did you hear about the Morgans?"
Shortly into it, the remarks began.
"Gee God, what kind of movie is that."
"What a stupid movie."
"This is a bunch of crap."
"What time is it? I think it is my bedtime."
Several times I would look over and catch Mom dozing.
Not wanting her to fall asleep so early I would say, "Lily wake up! You are missing the movie." and then the litany would begin again.
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.
