From the archives: Christmas 2010: My sister and brother-in-law are visiting from Atlanta and came over last night for an evening of pizza and board games and laughter. Dad felt great, and participated in most of the fun. Usually, when my sister visits, I have the pleasure of "surprising" Dad with the good news of her upcoming visit - every day leading up to the day she arrives. This morning when he woke up, I told him with great excitement that Nancy was here from Atlanta for Christmas and she would be over for lunch today to visit him! "She was here last night, Kathy." He said as if I were the one with dementia. "Don't you remember?" "I must have had too much eggnog." I replied, barely able to contain my excitement of his memory. On this wonderful Christmas day, the best present I got was Dad's memory of the past! We wish you all a happy and stress-free Holiday! |
