I'm so sorry your parents are suffering and that you all are in this situation.
It seems to me from people I've known with dementia and alzheimers that they are pretty happy for the most part. To be fair though, no one in my immediate family suffered in that way, so I would be sad and worried too.
I sort of wish a lot of my memories would be erased - then I wouldn't have to be so vigilant with my own thoughts. I probably shouldn't tempt Fate that way.
Hugs, lovely.
on the hotel room in Reno. I mean, it is Reno after all, and I say that in the most loving way possible. It's one of my all-time favorite off-the-beaten-trail cities. Tacky almost goes without saying. I always just hope they use lots of bleach and lysol.
