The week of August 27th I hosted part two of my show with my sisters Sandy Born, Sue Fleming and Judy Fleming on my show as guests. We continued the discussion about what we experienced through the journey with our mom’s dementia. We were able to change state laws in Illinois based on the abuse our mom endured at the 1st nursing home we chose. We still feel angst and regret that we didn’t make a better choice. We also had a few laughs over the antics of the residents and mom at her second care community. This was a heavy, then light hearted and laughter, tear filled 1/2 hour.
The interview with Chicago Tribune at Dairy Queen, Sandy and Sue were being interviewed, I was there for Mom. She was distracted by the photographer, Mom looked at me like who is the guy? I finally said to Mom, if he was going to keep photographing you, we’d make a funny face at him. So we did, he snapped a picture. He told me it was so precious, the look, that he would keep this picture for himself. I wish I’d thought to ask for a copy, hindsight.
