Something I noticed today ☹️ ⏳

I was FaceTiming with my mom a while ago, and it kinda hit me

As I’ve grown older, moved out and started living my own life
She has grown and aged too.

Time waits for no one, and I knew that but when I was staring at her I got really emotional 🥺 There will be a day when she’s no longer with us… and it’s something I’ll have to learn to deal with 💔

Then she started judging my outfit again and roasting me for being too emotional and she brought me back to reality 😐😂

It gets worse... my mom used to have the best memory that I knew, and if you gave her 5 minutes she could repeat word for word for word, of what was said earlier.

But sadly her mind is going, we believe it's the start of Alzheimer's disease

@sstronaut I’m so sorry you have to go through that 🥺

@Ashly It's not bad yet, I'm just worried about the future... and she refuses to get hearing aids, which I think they have connected Alzheimer with hearing loss and basically the person's tries to fill in the missing part they didn't hear, and I think it makes it worse.

But she refuses, I've even offered to pay for them.

@sstronaut keep on insisting, if it’s something she actually needs she’ll realize it eventually ☹️

@Ashly I'll try, but I think she'll just keep making excuses

@sstronaut I am so sorry, my Mom has early on set dementia so I get it 🩷.
