      From MarikaL June 13, 2008

      My mother will be 85 June 21st. She has dementia. As I look at her gray hair, her main activity is sitting at home in her stuffed chair and gazing at my daughter and myself as we speak to her we too find it difficult to see her in this condition. We're trying to keep her home as long as we can. She has basically turned back time into childhood. Physically she's there. Very weak and barely able to walk. Her mind is that of a child. However, we're all that she has. So, here's a Hug, you're not alone. Marika

      I feel your pain. My mother is 80 and has been in hospital to nursing home since before Christmas since last year. She has dementia and most of the time does't know who I am. She has a feeding tube in and suffers from seizures. I lost my mom emotionally last year and really miss her and our conversations. I know the pain of watching your whole world get old and go away. I am 52 years old and still want my mom.
