Yeah, I am definitely numb. I will not deny that a lot of times I have wished she wasn't my mother and that is coming back to me.

Don't scare me more with that last sentence! Memory loss in old age is a huge fear of mine and this happening makes me think of that too. I guess I can hope since I take after my dad's family in many ways, and they seem to age better, maybe I will take after them there too. Also, I use three languages daily, which is supposed to benefit brain function as you age.
