The story of Dot and sometimes Bill, my parents, both of whom have dementia. Its sad, funny and irreverent. I am their sole caregiver. They do most things on their own, I just help on the confusing things, which are growing every day.

Dot
It is so very sad for me to see my mom fading. She is having a hard time getting around. She can't remember places that should be easy to go to. Restaurants, friends homes, how to cook. She won't go grocery shopping anymore. She lets my dad go to Cub and buy the brand that is below the Cub brand. And no one wants to eat that stuff. Dot is so smart and vital. She has done something she has never done before, and that is she is becoming very involved in politics. She writes the President, her congressmen and senators. She also watches Glen Beck everyday and she has volumes of shorthand in notebooks. How odd. She remembers shorthand. She was a legal secretary after all. I am having knee surgery Wednesday so I won't write for al few days. God bless you
