What a difference a day makes...
.... to steal a song title.....
Thanks to everyone here (and the PMs) and crying a few bucketfuls of tears .... I feel at least more at peace - the one song which is constantly in my head at the mo is 'Que Sera, sera'!!!!
My instinct - as mum's has been always - is to 'fight' .. perhaps I need to recognise there is a time to question 'for what purpose'????
I guess I had assumed I was in for the 'long-haul' with dementia - and now perhaps not ... sure makes you focus!!!!! And maybe I still am ..... ho, hum... the one thing we can all be certain of here is uncertainty, I guess.....
So, if I'm to live by the importance of QUALITY of life, I guess this means she can have her beloved apple turnovers for breakfast, lunch and tea from now on????
If I have one regret just now, it's that I can't let mum know what an amazing amount of support I have had from this forum.....
Love and thanks to everyone....
