My mom lives on Long Island, New York in a two bedroom apartment.

She is 95 years old and has dementia.

She has 3 aides that take turns caring for her 7 days a week and she lives only a mile away from my sister and her family.

My brother and I come from Scranton to visit her about once a month. We saw her this past Sunday and, although it is sad to see her with dementia, it is a joy to hear her voice and see her laugh.

I tell her to stay healthy, she could live to be 110!

My sister and her family also stopped by and you could tell how much my mom enjoyed all of us being there!

When it was time to leave, she shed a few tears as if she knew she would not see us for awhile.

Her love will live in our hearts forever.
