You may be wondering what I mean by this title. It comes about from a recent visit I had with my mom. We were having a conversation and it lead to an answer of we should do that some time all together. Which in turn would mean a trip somewhere a change in her routine/schedule. In a perfect world I would love to go anywhere she would love to go and have a great time. Well it isn’t perfect on this adventure we call dementia and we can’t just drop everything and go places whenever we want to. For those who have some knowledge of dementia you shouldn’t really make any changes to their routine/schedule.

It’s tough sometimes when you hear things like this and you wish you could, but all you say is “sure we can do this or go there” but in reality it is a fake conversation. When it comes down to it you half to do what you half to do at that time the conversation is happening. You are in their reality.

I hope you all have a wonderful Blessed Merry Christmas and a Happy Blessed New Years in whatever fashion that means to you. Blessings
