respect for people
Sylvia, you just posted a line about "respect for people with dementia". I agree with you but i will deviate, partly to "get this of my chest" i supose. A great aunt of mine, who i did not see very much, but always sent xmas cards and thro my mum knew how each was "doing", has just died. She was 86, her daughter lived half mile away, (her son in south africa), her daughter was due to go to her at xmas, did not bother, did not let her even know she was partying instead. Chicken cooked etc the women spent xmas on her own. She had a fall, ended in hospital, caught pneumonia, was in hosipital about 4 weeks. My mum went and saw her, she was asking for her daughter, who new her condition and where she was, but the daughter did not bother to go. Now she is dead, the son has flown home and the daughter is there, and they are both waiting for the flat to be sold so they can have the spoils. Her children never bothered with her in life. What i am trying to get to, is that there are some people who have no respect for others whatever their condition.
