You Just Never Know

I have been thinking about what I can write about the last four months....since my last blog post. I was going to say: Mom has really declined. She can't read the white board. She can't say sentences. I can't remember the last time she smiled at me. Guess what....I went at noon today, bent down, looked into her eyes and smiled at her....AND she smiled back! She said: What's your name? I told her, even though she can't hear. She nodded. She ate (with a fork, by herself)....and she gave me the little shrug....and she smiled some more. Before I left, she took my hand and kissed it. So....you just never know.
