I sat next to her , snuggled and kissed her.
Her aid last time said she was sleeping more and this time
she was still sleepy. Her eyes are not red so it isnt from being up all night...
so i am afraid she is entering the next stage.
The sleepy stage. This is the next stage of the progression of
Alzheimer where they cannot keep their eyes open even to eat.
She read out loud from a book for a bit for me which was nice
as it turned into singing ( she cannot read and it was gibberish)
Then promptly fell asleep.
I managed to capture one photo....
in it she looks quite calm and delicate like a flower petal.
Like a rose in a vase you have to be so careful and enjoy it
because it is wilting before your eyes
before you are ready, before you have prepared, you care for it
and tend to it....
it still softens and weakens
and sighs .....
Today my beloved mom is 92

Oh my, this post brought back memories of my mom's last months with dementia. Such a dear soul your mother appears - you are right - like a flower petal. My heart goes out to you.
Happy Birthday to your Mom! What a wonderful milestone for you two.
Wishing you a nice Sunday!
