It is very difficult to engage her in conversation, she confuses very easily. I can see deep in her eyes that she is trying very hard to comprehend and retain the conversation, but then she glazes over and I can see the sadness there.

We all want to have hope that she will improve but with each visit I have no choice but to accept that she's not the vibrant, active Mom she was.

I want my old Mom back.

I bet she looked great in the outfit
