Mother was herself again!

Today, for a time, mother was herself again.

Mother knew Isis was grieving the loss of her beloved dog Dakota, and she was once again a mother wanting to help her daughter. Her mind was very clear and she asked me to take her to Isis and got all dressed up because she thought we were going to a hospital and she wanted to be respectful and honor Dakota. She was thinking of others, not just her own needs. As we drove she noticed people along the way and made comments, something she has not done for a long time.

She told me afterwards that she had wanted to go cook for Isis, clean her house. I remembered the many times she showed her love for us by doing just that, helping when we needed her. Later she realized she really wasn't able to do much cooking or cleaning any more. I think she felt discouraged. Such a sad day, but it was good to have mother with us again for a bit.
