So tomorrow is Mother’s Day in Ireland and the UK. I think it’s a Hallmark Day to be honest but anyway that’s beside the point. Not only is it Mother’s Day this weekend but it was also my dad’s 10th anniversary yesterday.
You are probably wondering where I’m going with this but I went to visit my mother. The first thing she asked me was who my mother was, she couldn’t believe it when I told her it was her.
She can’t remember anything to be honest. She doesn’t remember my dad or her grandchildren, or me and my brother. She remembers Galway – where she was born. That’s about it.
She’s happy in this little world of hers where she’s back in Galway, gardening and ordering men around. She’ll chatter on until she’s had enough and then she’ll get up and walk away.
I’m not sure if she has Alzheimer’s or dementia but whatever she has she’s oblivious to life in the real world and maybe that’s not such a bad thing.

Yes. And maybe that’s not such a bad thing.
yes
Indeed the pain of living, and no matter how you sugarcoat it’s all downhill no matter what the say…
Yes it is
Yep and whilst all the self-help in the world may soothe , bottom line is its like polishing a turd… the facts are the facts ..

Another point I’d make.on mother’s day is that everyday is mother’s day… this occasion is a clever marketing ploy to encourage people to overspend for one day to signal to others how good a relationship they have with mum yeah.right make it everyday and don’t blow about it.. pardon me for being cynical..
