My mom sent me a Halloween card, which is really touching, since she has Alzheimer's and no longer remembers birthdays, etc. The first time she forgot my birthday was an absolute shock. I mean, I didn't care about the lack of a card, phone call, etc., but, to paraphrase "16 Candles", "Parents live for that shit!"
For Halloween, she must have had her caregiver take her to the store for the card, and then she must have gotten help with my address, since she can't process that kind of stuff anymore. It was a card for a little kid, but that's ok. And here's the good part - she signed it "The Spook", just like she used to before she got Alzheimers.
Very touching.
