November 2nd All Souls Day. I wonder if you realized that in 1983? I didn't realize the connection until years later.
How is a life remembered by so few pictures? I look at these pictures, that I have memorized over decades, wishing I had had the chance to really know you. To have known you as Glenys, not just mom.
Dad didn't recognize a photograph of you the other day, one that he had taken in 1970 probably right after I was born. I am dreading the day when he no longer recognizes me as his daughter.
Dementia sucks and su***de sucks. Lots of thoughts happening today. All of this had to happen for me to be sitting here right now, with my wonderful husband and amazing son, all of this suffering had to happen in order for the steps after to land where they did. I miss you mom.
