My mother has taught me that even if it will soon be forgotten each and every moment has value. I try to give Mom lots of photo books packed with pictures of her having fun. My heart breaks a little at the times when she doesn't recognize herself in those pictures."Is that me?"
"Yes Mom."
"Well, I thought maybe it was my sister."
But do you know the miracle?
Most of the time she remembers her grand kids and great grand kids. I think if she could choose who she wanted to recognize it would be them.

That really shows how selfless and considerate of others Grandma really is. Even if she can't recognize herself, she will remember others
I hope that this is how my Mom is with my 2 boys. She is not yet at the point where she doesn't remember people, but I fear we are getting close. I hurt for them that they will never know her as I did. But, I will give anything for her to remember them the longest.
Thank you again for sharing you blog, it really does help to not feel so alone in this.
