Cindy's Life Updates with Frontotemporal Dementia: March 2017

Happy 60th Birthday, Mom!

March 24, 2017

My mom made it to the age of 60 today! She is 60 years young now!

This year she didn't know how old she was. She would shrug her shoulders if you asked her how old she was.

She received a few fun things for her birthday. Thank you to everyone for making her birthday a special one.

The simple things in life are the best. The simple things in life are the best for people with dementia.

Happy Birthday, MOM! You made it to 60!!

Happiness and Sometimes Just Letting Everything Go

March 19, 2017

I am so glad that my mom is HAPPY (for the most part) and loves to laugh. I love it when I catch her on a good day and she just laughs and laughs at anything I say or do. I am so grateful that my mom is able to experience this happiness right now during this part of her life.

Sometimes in life, when the going gets tough, you just need to let everything go, and have a little fun! That's what I seem to do when I'm with my mom. I may bring a smile to my mom's face, but she always brings a smile to my face, even on days where I don't feel like smiling.

Some people may wonder how I've been able to do it. In all honesty, I think this is how I've been able to get through everything.

Thank you everyone for bringing that happiness and smile to her face and

thank you, mom, for bringing a smile to my face every time I see you!
