Mother Remembers The Important Things

As Marcie was preparing to go on vacation, I said to her, only half joking "Don't worry about us, we'll be OK." She laughed but said she actually had been a little concerned how Mother would cope.

Yesterday was our first Monday without Marcie since February 11, the day she arrived. This morning Mother woke up and came out and asked Dennis "Where's Marcie?"

Mother does not call me by name, or Dennis. The only person she calls by name is Jenna. And now Marcie.
