LJ Idol week 5- They're the Ones Who Used to Call me Friend

I'm watching her unravel. The woman who used to be my rock and my caretaker, who taught me to cut with a knife and to wash my hair. She is 94 now, and will be 95 in a few weeks, but instead of teaching me lessons these days, we suffer through memory loops

She is lucky to have you. My Nana also experienced dementia that created conversation loops like these. It was especially difficult on my mother, who felt like the mother she knew wasn't there anymore.

Hugs! This is definitely hard to deal with - my aunt is close in age to your grandma, and when we get to visit it seems like about every 10 minutes we repeat conversations or questions. ❤️
