REMEMBERING THE MUSIC, FORGETTING THE WORDS

Remembering the Music, Forgetting the Words Travels with Mom in the Land of Dementia by Kate Whouley - A friend loaned this to me a few years ago, and I just now got around to reading it. It's a true story about a mother and daughter and what happened to them as the mother became increasingly forgetful and unable to care for herself. Kate's mom had a strong personality to go along with her condition, but Kate met the challenge with love and care. She made a vow to keep her mom safe and happy, and then made choices and decisions that always kept that vow in mind. A very quick and comfortable read, considering the uncomfortable subject.
