 Av> My mum is 80 and in poor health having been battling dementia for the last
 Av> few years. She went into a rest home offering hospital level care six
 Av> months ago to this day.

 Av> My Dad (also 80) visited her today and kindly ran a short FaceTime call
 Av> from her bedside so I could wish her a happy mothers day. It was nice to
 Av> see her face (she's two plane flights away and several hours travel from
 Av> where I live) and to let her know I love her.

 Av> Dementia is a rotten disease, it robs a person of there essence and you
 Av> are left with someone who is a former shadow of themselves :(

 Av> This will likely be my last Mothers Day with my mum alive. I consider
 Av> myself fortunate to have had the chance to connect with her again today
 Av> and indeed to have had such a wonderful, kind and caring mum during my
 Av> lifetime on this Earth.

I'm sorry to hear your mom is facing that.  That's tough to deal with. :(
