I bought my mum flowers for mothers day and she loved them and a card. At about 3pm though she said I'll have to get my mum some flowers too! Instead of saying she's dead, I asked her to tell me about grandma and we had a lovely time remembering her.

I took a card and some flowers for her room, which she seemed to like when she eventually looked at them properly (I think focusing on items is difficult now). She asked me my name and when I said it she repeated it wrong twice, like she hadn't heard it before except she recognised the surname as the same as hers.

Then she started talking about the prodigal (invisible) sibling by first name !!! (no flowers, no card, no phone call...... Same Xmas, birthday...)

Hey ho,

confused and mad - not surprising

How very upsetting for you. I hope you can remember a time when your mother was filled with joy at your mother's day gifts - she will probably remember those times too. As for absent siblings taking up the whole day - I was there with my husband (her son) and her (only) grandchild - presents, cards, home made gifts, my other child and photos - made the tea, chatted and was patient when repeating the same information 12 times - and all she talked about was my errant brother in law - not a thank you in sight. The only comfort is that she always preferred him to my husband when she was more in her right state of mind!

Megan, winds me up terribly to be called by the name of my absent sibling, who couldn't even be bothered to send a card, grrr
I planned to have lunch with Mum at her home today, took her in flowers, a card from me and a card i pretended was from the errant sibling. Mum just couldn't wake up today, so I just sat in her room with her and read the Sunday papers. When she was well, we both used to enjoy reading the Sunday papers together, so I kind of wanted to keep up the tradition, even if she is asleep and couldn't read when she was awake now anyway.
