Happy Mother's Day to all Moms out there!

The real thing!

My mom is elderly and has dementia. Yesterday I was getting ready to go to the grocery store for her. She said, since it was a holiday (Independence Day is Monday) that I should pick up some "Pepsicola" for her. "Make sure its the real thing" she tells me. I told her, "Mom, It's Coke that's the 'Real thing'!" ;)

(Lyrics from the original 1969 commercial)
I'd like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love
grow apple trees and honey bees and snow white turtle doves.
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony
I'd like to buy the world a coke and keep it company.
It's the real thing.
I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.
I'd like to buy the world a coke and keep it company.
It's the real thing.
Coke is what the world wants today. Coke Cola
It's the real thing
Coke is what the world wants today. Coke Cola
It's the real thing

More care

My mom comes home on Friday, and my responsibilities escalate. I am fearful for her because she has memory loss, which has now been verified by professionals and not just by family. Although her home will be familiar to her, there will be changes for both of us to adjust to. I will have to keep track of her medicines, which is something I knew was coming. I hope she can learn a new routine as far as medication goes. My own family at my home has had to do without me for these weeks that I have been arranging my mother's care.
