my mom spent her last days in a nursing HOME. Sometimes I feel guilty about being amused at her dementia... but her stories were exciting, weird and fun.

"money gets exchanged at night... CHINESE money."

"SPIES ARE ALL AROUND. PEOPLE COME AT NIGHT AND PUT DROPS IN MY EYES!"

"At night the janitor pushes his cart and gets secret messages out of the fuse boxes. I see him!"

"These earrings are from the Queen, to thank me for THINGS!"

"I see all of these old men. I see them staring. Staring at my KNEES!"

R.I.P. MOM ❤️
