Nhmom36 The smartest thing anyone can do is purchase a long term care policy, it's worth it's weight in gold. Good for you!

Beautifuly said. I have told my children that when I get to be a burden they are to have no reluctance to put me in an appropriate facility. I took out long term health insurance for that purpose. Your mother is/was a very wise and loving woman.

You have been and are Blessed to have a Mother with this faith and godly character. Love does not envy but I do admire your relationship as a family. It is a rare treasure to be cherished. I am so very happy for you and your family. May God continue to bless you abundantly. :)

Beautiful way of telling your story,...thank you!

Your mom is a very unique person. Despite the dementia, her true personality is still intact. I'm glad that this is so.

Aw, This brings back some great memories of my own Mom. She also suffered from dementia. It was a slow decline, but like your mom she was a fighter. She has long since passed. I still miss her.
