Today's visit with Mom was noteworthy. I stopped by very early, on my way to work. Mom had just finished breakfast and ate well. I told her I was on my way to work... and she said -
"Well you have to work hard when you're running a business."
I had told her about my business a few weeks ago and was surprised (pleasantly) that she remembered it.
Then only a sentence or two later she said... "I still haven't seen your father. It's been 6 days. He could be one of those accidently they keep talking about. I have no idea where he is." She was obviously grief-stricken for a minute - "If you see him, just tell him to come home."
I just looked at her and said 'Sure Mom. Is everything else ok?'
"Oh yeah."
'Do you know what year it is?'
She thought for a minute "1960....something....I know I'm close."
It was strange that she could be so alert and so out of touch at the same time. Otherwise, she looked healthy today.
