trackback
Mom was so excited about her party she was talking about it for days in advance. Her clothes were discussed and she was taken to the hairdresser so that she would look nice. She stayed a bit weary as to whether she would be confused on the day or not.
She was fine the day of the party. She looked happy although she was very quiet. She had her morning sleep as normal and we kept on telling her that if she could stay awake the afternoon she must try and be with her family and friends but she was not able to keep up and had to go lie down for an hour in the middle of the party.
Some visitors that had not seen her for a few weeks were shocked as to how she had become worse in such a short time.
At about 4pm she turned to me and said “I have had enough of this now, can we please go home”. (The party was at home)

I think Rene is looking wonderful!! And cannot believe Christine is still around – please send her my love. Rene is thinner but still has that warm and charming smile that I remember and she looks so happy!!!!
Thanks Gillian. She is happy a lot of the time but also depressed a lot of the time. Christine is still wonderful. I talk to her almost every day!
