Thank You
Mom's nurse just called me so I could talk to Mom a bit. She sounded really good today, remembering all sorts of things. Then, all of a sudden she said, "I want to thank you for everything you've done for me. I can't wait to see you when you get back."
I just broke into tears a bit. She's so sweet. And, it felt really good to be acknowledged.
She's putting my mom to bed too early though, and it is really hard to talk to her about stuff because she just wants to get off the phone, and I know that I'm not there, so I don't want to be criticising.

Karma..what your Mom said was so touching..ty for sharing it. I wish my Mom could come u with whole sentances, but as of now its just the same words repeated "baby."

Thanks Peg. I appreciate that you're still reading the blog. My grandmother can't say anything at all, just moans; once I understood that she was trying to tell me that she didn't recognize me. It is very hard. That's why it was so touching that Mom said what she did.
