My mother is a strong willed,loving,talented and can be honest to the point of bring someone to tears,kind of woman. I love her to death! I live with my sister helping take care of our mom. Over the years she has become ill and fragile and also a little forgetful. OK,she is a lot forgetful! I can tell her I am going outside and she will completely freak out and forget where I am and the onslaught of phone calls start to my sister. Speed dial is a great thing...unless your my sister. We decided to leave her post it notes with the date,time and message next to her bed so she would see them. this however didn't work so well since her freaking lap dog from hell likes to take them off the table and go bury them! I am not allowed to the dog as sh loves it very much. I think we are going to move on to a dry erase board. It will go on the wall,away from the damn dog. I bet he likes the taste of the dry erase markers too!
