Shirley and Barbara

I went to visit mom and dad today.
Mom had had a bad weekend as she had wandered into a neighbor lady's room where she was met with anger at the intrusion.
Mom was pushed.
Mom is a real people person and has always had so many friends and not any enemies.
Now in her dementia there is someone who does not like her.
It is confusing to her and she of course does not understand.
Dad is no help other than being there to hold her hand and ask her when they are going to get out "of this place".
Mom does not have many pictures that she keeps up on her bulletin board-but the one of her sister Shirley is still there.
They have the Christmas tree up and dad was remarking about how tall it was. I said, "Well, not like the one at Marshall Field and Co.".
Mom eyes really sparkled as she thought of her "favorite" store.
"No way," she said.
And she did remember the Walnut Room and the mushroom soup!!!
Love you Mom
