Mother-In-Law

Seventy-one and in a nursing home
Her mind wanders the halls of memory
Seeing family members dead and gone
Who aren’t really there  (Or maybe they are?)
Visitors don’t know if she’ll remember them
She has more bad days than good lately
Who would choose to live out their days
Seventy-one and in a nursing home?

  1. Sad. We went through that with my Dad. He was 76.

  2. I am so sorry, seventy-one is so young to be afflicted with dementia .... way too young.

You may put in your 2¢ worth, but I'll only pay you a penny for your thoughts.
