When I read your post this morning, I found myself smiling. Not because of your situation, rather, your tender attitude towards your “Mummy”. The fact that you try to decipher her sentences with love and patience, is huge. Plain and simple, you ‘get it’. I go through this continually with my mom, recognizing it’s just a part of the process. She tries to share her thoughts, but is no longer able to articulate them in a language I can understand, but her eyes still carry that beautiful light. Although the communication can be challenging, I know that my mom and your “Mummy” still appreciate the hand holding, hugs and the fact that someone (in my case, she no longer knows me) is visiting with her. Know that your loving attention and sweetness toward your mom will be a memory with you, long after she is with the angels. I don’t know you, but you are clearly, very special.

Frasil.com is life changing technology due for release In 3weeks. It will connect you and your mum. It can do 80% of what you want unfortunately the computer is after all a machine and can’t hug. So we leave that great part to you.

Alzheimer’s is a tough, tough disease.. for all involved. Stay strong. jj
