A blessing

I spent the day with my mum and dad today. You know, my mum will be 80 in December. She really doesn't look it. Sadly, she has dementia and the disease is heartbreaking. A once lively member of the community is now unable to maintain a conversation. She's much more withdrawn than she used to be, but I count my blessings that both my parents are still alive and despite this horrendous illness they are both relatively well.
