You write very evocatively... <BR/><BR/>I left a comment earlier today about my Mom. Mom and I share a house and Mom is beginning to gradually lose her memory. It is hard to watch someone who was "the family memory book" forget the names and places you spent a lifetime hearing about. Worse is knowing it will progress and she won't be the person she once was.<BR/><BR/>Still, I remember going to a conference of music people from our faith (I am Unitarian) and there was a woman who was probably not going to be at the next conference. She couldn't remember names or faces and was sometimes angry or lost but when the music started, she was :there" and present... She sang a number of songs on her own the last night celebration and I thought that perhaps, at the very least, the one part of her that was so precious to herself was still there and would be for some times after the "her" everyone knew was gone forever.<BR/><BR/>I can only hope that for my mother... and for yours.Mudhookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14671086890409659091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662496417086207646.post-6071572685084453872008-09-07T18:07:00.000-04:002008-09-07T18:07:00.000-04:00My Mom is 84 and I know the joy of getting her out...My Mom is 84 and I know the joy of getting her out and about but also the joy of having her enjoy herself...Mudhookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14671086890409659091noreply@blogger.com
