18 days till vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo ready to just lay around, play with the kiddos and swim in the ocean. *sigh*
I've been going through old family pictures the past few nights. My girlfriends are going to help me put an album together for my mom. I want her to have something when she does go into a full-time care facility. Looking at the pictures is turning out to be harder than I thought it would be. I look at my mom and every picture I analyze...is there a hint of the Alzheimer's? Was she already starting to loose bits and pieces?? I miss her soo much that I'm finding myself only remembering the bad stuff lately. When I talk to Royce about my childhood, I'm bringing up things that I never gave a second thought to before. I'm making my mother into this evil Disneyesque character. Was it really that way, or am I just doing this to make losing my mom that much easier? Crap.

A full-time care facility is what is best for your mother. Don't take on the guilt that I did when that decision was made. Just try to hold onto the good memories and minimize the not-so-good. And count the days until you can enjoy time with your family, because that is what you deserve!
