Project - Slipping by HeatherPrinspea posted 02/09/12 at 11:06 AM Galleries: Scrapbooking Journaling: Friday at last. I had a great, relaxing morning. I played around in photoshop and even managed to get a couple of layouts done uninterrupted. In the afternoon I helped Lexi work on another digital layout. I am so happy to be teaching her how to scrap digitally. But the fun ended when I got a call from the Citadel. Apparently my mom had been sitting by the front door since 9am this morning waiting to get picked up. It was now 1:30pm. That was not like her so I quickly went up to check on her. Whn I arrived, there she was, waiting by the door and of course when she saw me her face lit up like a child's. I knelt down in front of her and gently asked her what she was doing. She said she was coming over to my place. I asked her how she was going to get there and she said she was going to call a taxi (she doesn't know how to call one, thank goodness). I asked her if she knew my address and she said no. I looked into her beautiful eyes and just waited. A few seconds later I saw that she was "back". She realized she didn't know what she was doing. I said let's go upstairs and have a rest. I took her back to her room and she sat back in her big chair. She was normal again, I could tell. I left her for a while and came back later, by then she was joking about trying to escape the care centre. It made me sad though, that she was 'gone' from reality for such a long time. That's the first this has happened since her trauma nearly three years ago, but it is normal with the progression of dementia. The rest of the day I kept seeing her eyes in my mind, cloudy with uncertainty. I thought about how much I will miss seeing her eyes when she is gone from me. And so I worry that she will slip from me more and more and maybe one day I won’t be able to bring her back. Don’t go Mom.

My heart feels for yours. While I haven't experienced loss due to dementia, I've watched both my parents slip away slowly. Big hugs to you.

Your journaling is awesome and so heartfelt. I can feel the love you have for your mom and the anxiety you feel knowing she is slipping away slowly. I'm so glad she was able to see some humor in her situation but it is so difficult to watch anyone you love deteriorate. My heart goes out to you and your mom.
