Jodi, I love this so much. What a great story. “ just leave me here”

I wanted this story to continue. So very well written and I get a good feeling for all three characters.

I love how you honor your mother with these fantastic memories, even though it seems like you’re the only one that knows what’s happening. Who knows the curiosity isn’t it?

Love your humor and sending love

"Just leave me here," very typically her. Very typically a Jewish mother.

Q: How many Jewish mother's does it take to change a light bulb?

A: Meh, it's fine, I'll just sit here in the dark, you should go have fun...

Thanks for sharing these adventures you had together, even if your mum's memory of them has now faded. I love the photo of you both parasailing, Jodi! That looks a blast!

Sharing, and remembering for myself. Reminding myself of who she was, who we were, before dementia butted in and changed everything. We had our ups and downs, but she was a running buddy.
