Dementia Diary: Thanksgiving at Christmas

This year I sent out a Christmas card with this picture:
The caption was Season’s Greetings from Scott, Frances, and Kim, pictured here at Thanksgiving dinner provided by Mom’s memory care staff, with poinsettias provided by Photo Shop ®

Mom enjoyed our visit. Asked if she knew who I was, she smiled and said, "He's my friend."

For our Christmas dinner, she seemed very happy until suddenly she said, "Let's get out of here." I suspect that the chatter at the table had been too much about her without involving her. Will make mental note of that.
