Nothing anyone says can really offer consolation but your continued support and love no doubt mean the world to your Dad - and through him, to your Mum also.

Every conversation I have with her soon turns into a lament about how she wishes she was dead. Everything has unintended consequences and all those diseases that no longer kill you keep you alive for a different sort of death.Ian Millisshttp://milliss.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839741629478290383.post-81778147358750869882012-05-07T23:35:56.468+10:002012-05-07T23:35:56.468+10:00Must say, it was pretty teary going from my end to...Must say, it was pretty teary going from my end too.hughesyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09952271152178706348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839741629478290383.post-54513316302006500492012-05-07T18:54:11.097+10:002012-05-07T18:54:11.097+10:00Wow, Hughesy, that brought me to tears...
It sound...Wow, Hughesy, that brought me to tears...<br />It sounds like such a heartbreaking place for you, your Dad and those around, partly in being forgotten, but mostly seeing your Mum's loss and confusion... And what a terrifying spot for your Mum, losing her memory with no control over it.<br />But what stands out in this is your compassion for your Mum and Dad, and your commitment to enjoying and sharing what IS there with your Mum.<br />Awesome writing, Hughesy, thanks so much for sharing.Timmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06712963308662425659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839741629478290383.post-10411967757218255362012-05-07T14:00:44.257+10:002012-05-07T14:00:44.257+10:00Beautiful post!

It's amazing to watch them basically come back to life. It's incredibly sad to realise that them sitting at their tables, in bed, on their chair, whatever, just staring blankly is because of a lost mind, confusion, and sadness. The music brings them back to life. Just shows how incredibly important and powerful music is to us.Mokonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839741629478290383.post-25608766786435208422012-05-07T01:43:58.466+10:002012-05-07T01:43:58.466+10:00I live in quiet, omnipresent terror of the same.I live in quiet, omnipresent terror of the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839741629478290383.post-89379949919214019962012-05-07T01:40:18.573+10:002012-05-07T01:40:18.573+10:00This is heartbreaking.
