I wish I could/would have spent more time with her and it's something that really bothers me today. I think it's wonderful the time you and your sisters are able to be with her. <br />Seeing your desk/table again makes me hope that I'll have one of those in Bentley by the end of the year. I look forward to having the use of a table again versus a full-time desk. Lol!

I know it's hard on you to watch the decline :( Just keep enjoying the good days. I wonder if fat crayons would be easier for her to handle? You are quick on the puzzles for sure!

It is so sad to see a person, especially parents, deteriorate like that. Keep the good memories of her in your heart.
