I’m so sorry lizblue. Your tribute to her was very nice. My uncle’s dementia is progressing quickly as well. For the first time, he didn’t seem to recognize my aunt the other day. It broke my heart when I heard so I can’t imagine how she feels.

Sending you love lizblue. Dementia is so cruel in how it takes some of the brightest lights.

Hey guys. Bumping this thread to update on my aunt. She passed away this evening. I’m glad she’s no longer in pain, but im devastated she’s gone. Cancer is such bullshit.
My brother and I went to Tecate last week to say our goodbyes to her. She recognized me the second day and we had a beautiful moment together while she was lucid.
She was my mom’s oldest sister. She’s why I know how to make hand made flour and corn tortillas and gorditas and sopes and all this other fried yummy food. She was a quiet one but you could feel her love at all times.
🖤 love you Tía C. Te voy a extrañar. 😢

that's nice you had a moment with her but so sorry you lost her. Pass on her tortillas and cooking knowledge and keep her spirit alive in your foods.

I think this is the best place for me to add this.
So, today I went to help my mom out because she is having some junk guys come tomorrow to remove my dads train table from the garage (it takes up over half of a 2 1/2 car garage and we moved him to a home in April). Turns out she had a mammogram today and there was a spot. It’s in the same area as her cancer was about 5 years ago. So this sucks. She needs more imaging and testing to see if it’s scar tissue (which hasn’t been seen in the last dozen images) or something else.
So now I know my dad will die soon (end stage Alzheimer’s) and now this.

lizblue, I'm so very sorry. I lost my MIL in November to the same awful disease, though technically due to a bad fall and head injury that with everything else, she just couldn't come back from. So many hugs for you and your family.
