*I can't help how the photo ends up. This is a picture of my mom and me, when I was four. The man in the back is her father. She died a year ago today, and has probably been spending a lot of time with him. Well, I'm one year closer to seeing her again. I look forward to the hugs I'm going to get from her. We were attached at the hip, and I miss her. Fifty-five years old is too young to die, especially of dementia, but I'm thankful for simply having her at all.

I'm sorry to hear about your Mum although I remember your posts now from Bubblews about your journeys.

@AmbiePam as I do to my husband. And I think about that every day, too.

You have my utmost sympathy. My mom's dementia centered in her front temporal lobe. Do you know what kind your mom has?

Has it been a year already? I remember when you posted about her being ill and passing. Great picture.

Yes, a year. I hope I can keep remembering what it was like to hug her. That's the only thing I hate about time passing. Memories possibly fading. Memories like that anyway.

Oh that is sad dementia at such a young age. I know how much you must miss her but yes be thankful for having her while you did as some people don't have that. What a good looking family.

She was way too young and if you like, I can fix your photo for you, that is one thing I can do.

I've been thinking of you as I remember it would be near the time of her first anniversary. Not only were you lucky to have her as a mother, but she was blessed to have such a wonderful and loving daughter. I'm sure that she's looking down on you and smiling and so proud of the beautiful young lady that you've become.
