Been a rough spell and hadn’t been on here much this year.
Which my dad passed in 2003 and since been helping my mom with things ever since… at least as much as I can. This past March my mom had a light stroke with a diagnosis of dementia. We first thought it was temporary but it was actually the beginning. Her episodes increased and eventually we had to hire sitters to stay around the clock with her.
Her condition went from good days and bad days … to pretty much all bad since mid-August. By the end of September we started hospice home visits and on October 4th she passed away in her sleep. Which hard to comprehend but a blessing.
I went through lung cancer with my dad and dementia with mom. Both absolutely painful to watch loved ones go through .. but being my first real experience with dementia in our immediate family….. it’s just plumb awful and all I can say about that.
On brighter note… grandson is 2 now and growing like a weed. He’s all boy … wilder than a buck and wouldn’t have it any other way.
Good luck to those firing up the smoke poles this weekend. I’m going to try to hunt Saturday just to unwind & recoup a little. It will be nice to sit in a stand for awhile.
