It is so sad that your mother has dimentia. However, I am glad she is proud of you becuse you deserve her love and happiness at your achievements whatever they may be. A fitting story on Mother's Day.

This is beautiful, Yani. I can't imagine how hard it is to deal with your mom's dementia. You are a wonderful daughter. I also can't imagine living with spiders as big as plates. I don't like spiders or snakes. Both of them send me running as far as possible from them. God bless you, sweet girl 🥰

Beautiful Yana. Always interesting to me when people describe thex effects of Dementia I always remember F Scott Fitzgerald. Do you recall his story The Curious Tale of Benjamin Button? His story made me think it wouldn't be so bad to slowly return to my life as a child slowly falling asleep in my bed. I wonder how he wrote like that. How could he know? I hope your mother has a day as beautiful as your story for her special Mother's Day. Thank you for a lovely read on Mother's Day.

It is indeed difficult when a loved one suffers from dementia. Your mom is blessed to have a loving daughter like you.
