@1creekgirl It happens, sometimes they cannot remember people or events and other moments their mind clears up. I hope she will recognize you. I forgot to say, you are the prettiest.

@LadyDuck Oh, thank you! And I do hope maybe she'll know me some other time.

I guess there's always that slight hope that her mind would clear for a moment and she would know me.

That's wonderful that you got to spend time with your cousin. I'm sorry that she didn't recognize you. Alzheimers is such a tragic disease, I hope someday they can find a cure. But at least you got to reminisce about your childhood memories. I know when I get together with my cousins we do the same thing, and have a great time laughing and carrying on about everything.

@moffittjc It always seems to revolve around money. Why does greed so often harm relationships?

@1creekgirl And that's what being with family should always be about...laughing and having a good time together.

It is a heartbreaking situation but I am glad you got to see her and got to spend some time with her now, Now if you did have that red MG sports car you could just whizz over to see her

I'd sure love to have one! Although, I think I'd rather have a baby blue Porsche.

Every time I was about go visiting some older relatives, I would see a new notice/warning about Covid-19 & family gatherings. I am worried that if I don't visit them, they may go suddenly.

They've just recently allowed visitors to the nursing home.

You are right this disease is horrible. I think most think that way but don't really realize how deep it is until you live through it. My mother has ALZ and so far she still remembers me but we get some weird stories when we ask her what has she been doing. At least her mind is still imaginative. Big hug to you!

@1creekgirl That is heartbreaking! The last time we visited her other than the other day was two weeks ago. One of my daughters went with me and she told her while I was trying to find all of her clothes...that her papa dropped her off there and just left her. He left her! It's so sad how they interpret things in their head and think they are real. It is a horrible disease. Have you done anything about being tested to see if you have the gene passed along? I am seriously thinking about it.

@kareng No, I haven't. I've always been so forgetful that I tell my kids if I get it, you won't know it right away, lol.

My mother and five of her siblings have/had Alzheimers except for Mary Lynn's mother. But then her daughter got it. Strange how it can skip a generation.

Alzheimer’s is an insidious disease, it steals so much and causes so much pain and lose.

prayers for both of you.

Thank you so much. She was the "cool" cousin. She'd be horrified if she knew how she looks now.

Alzheimer's, to me, is a very tough disease to deal with. My uncle suffered it and dementia, but interestingly enough he always knew who I was, although I think he saw me as a kid. But he still knew who I was. Glad you had a great time and got to see her.
