Good morning
An earlier visit than normal to mum today, foolishly thinking it might be a bit cooler. Despite the storms, it feels hotter than ever.
No response from my precious one today but what was said yesterday will remain firmly in my mind. Mum was actually chuckling in her sleep this morning - I took great comfort from that. My dad was a great joker. Perhaps he is making her laugh, perhaps she is remembering some of the hilariously funny moments we've had with her. Oh I could fill a book. I am thinking of the many times we'd catch each other's eye and start laughing - neither of us knowing why. Dementia, you have robbed mum and my brother and I of so much but not even the cruel, evil, sadistic beast that is you, you cannot take our precious memories, nor the immense mutual love that will still remain, long after you've gone. Keep having those happy thoughts mum. Love to you all and wishing you strength today xxx
