My mother has Alzheimer's. Sometimes she remembers my name, sometimes she doesn't. I don't care, we just laugh about it. Mom and I always laughed a lot. I felt it was my duty to make her laugh, her own life left little to be cheery about. Anyway, her numero-uno request when she visited me in Seattle from her home in Fort Wayne, Indiana, was seagulls---she wanted to see seagulls!
No problemo, off to a local gull hangout, and they showed off for her, catching the stale bread she tossed in the air. I had never seen her so happy. So, now when she forgets me it is no big deal. We spent many years laughing together. No disease can take that away from us.
