Typically I don’t call my sister in tears. It is acceptable for her to cry and she simply cannot take it when I cry. However, this morning my brother does not know who I am. I have become accustomed to introducing myself to my husband every day, but when I knocked to let him know his meal was ready he asked me to go get me to bring it to him.
She simply said stop crying and hung up.
I didn’t stop crying. She called back. “I had a thought. Do every mean thing you have ever wanted to do to him and tell him that other lady did it.”
That actually made me laugh. My brother is a tease. You find your shoes with the laces tied together in knots. You think you are being smart and buy shoes with no laces and the duct tapes them together. He moves the car to the neighbors and told you it’s been stolen. He hides under his bed and waits for me to call for help to look for him.
After my sister talked to me again, she called him. He doesn’t know her either. So she is on her way, breaking all the rules, to go to take him to the doctor.

That is a tough situation. Dealing with one is difficult two could be more than a handful. I am sorry you have to deal with all this.
Today I am choosing to be blessed that they might forget the dumb things I have done! Thank you so much for your compassion.
My mom wound up with sclerosis on the brain. One of the last Christmases I spent with her in Latvia she asked me Where were you born? SIGH It was Christmas I had another drink
There are certainly times when that is the best choice.
I am so sorry you are going through this. It’s so difficult not to be recognized by the people you love, but you recognize them and that matters.
I guess that is a good point. At least someone knows their heart. Thanks so much for reminding me.
hmm, I’m So sorry..//.
Well, I should be used to this. I guess living with two strangers won’t be much different than living with one. Or perhaps with some rest and a miracle something else will happen. Right now they are both napping.
One step at a time, then a day at a time. Cry all you need to. Message me any time. And know this will get better.
By the way, the poll is perfect. Hugs to you.
The poll worked? How the heck did that happen?
i wish i could bundle hope an send it to you my friend.
i am so sorry.
Well, I had a thought. Perhaps I won’t know them and then my sister will be the one who has to figure it out. — Nope I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Somehow we will be fine.
you will be – it just takes the passage of time. We are here for you!
Thanks! I need to pick myself and then, humm, not sure what the next step is, but it might come to me!
put one foot in front of the other!
(from the old animated classic Santa Claus is coming to town)!
today is the first day!
