This actually isn't as funny as it looks because this happens to me all the time. It's called getting old! I sometimes forget the name of a simple, everyday item. I can write articles and reviews and manage to make sense to the reader; but put a common item in front of me; and I can't always remember what it is. It's a "thingy"!
Do you ever have this problem? Do you walk into a room and forget why you went there?

My beloved grandmother and mother were both lucid till the moments of their passing. Perhaps I would have the same. I actually want to remember the family and friends I love, the experiences I cherish, both joyful and sorrowful, the life, the world, the faces, the names.
Yet, I also know that there must be a moment of surrender. That is the time when one leaves all into God's will. St. Ignatius of Loyola prayed for it - for God to take away his will, his mind, his memory. We sing this song often during Masses.

I had a hard time with this after my stoke. I would lay something down in the house and then spend 3 to 4 hours trying to find it again. It was so annoying. I also go into a room and forget what I came for or pick up something else, go back and sit down and say, "This is not why I went back to the bedroom."

I can so relate. One thing I do that aggravates me is I get easily distracted and start something else before I finished the first thing.

@LindaOHio I just hate when I come upon a half finished task. Tell your husband I sympathize with him.

I reason things out with myself If I forget why I went into another room I ask myself what was I doing before I went there and why and so on and shortly the answer comes to me.

I cannot remember how to spell some words so use something else in its place.

More and more names of people and things are alluding me. Just part of the process. It is what it is. I remember one of my retiring co-workers who said at the end of his farewell speech, "I knew it was time to retire when I went down to my basement to get something only to remember I do not have a basement."
