Christmas and my Mom

12/16/2016

The house is all decorated for Christmas...

We decorated the tree....

....with our collection of glass ornaments...

But, the Christmas spirit has gone. What little I did have has evaporated. My Mom lies dying.
She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's eleven years ago, and it's been a heartbreaking journey.
Now the end is finally in sight, and she can pass at any time. Likely within the week.
So we wait, and try to go on in the meantime.

My Mom from a happier time, before Alzheimer's stole her away...

I really don't know what to say other than my thoughts are with you.
I am so sorry that Alzheimer's stole your Mother from you far, far too soon ((huge hugs))

My deepest sympathies. Both my parents passed over during the New Year holidays so I know how it can feel. Hope you have many happy memories to help ease your heartache.

I'm so sorry. The same thing is happening with my mother in law. Alzheimer, wheelchair, so sad for so many years and now she too can pass away any moment.
