My mum like a monster.

Someone has described her mum as a monster
after her mum had been suffering from dementia.

In this afternoon,
when I was delegated to update all the residents' photo particularly in their folders,
I saw this in a lady's note.

I felt sad when I was reading the letter by the daughter to a nurse.
She wrote that, once upon a time,
her mum was used to be kind, friendly and was a wonderful lady,
but she just suddenly changed her personalities into the opposites
what happened to her, the daughter wondered.

DEMENTIA
is an absolutely terrible thing.

The lady's daughter is now ten thousands miles far away from here.
I wonder, does she know how her mother is being now?
I can be the volunteer telling all about her,

If I meet her,
I'm gonna say,
Your mum is doing quite good.
She enjoys her breakfast after being woken up by the staffs.
She will then be assisted for a shower or a wash before the morning tea.
She likes coffee with milk and sugar.
She then will sit for a lunch.
After that, she is always ready for the afternoon tea.

But...
there is always a 'but'.
Unfortunately I have to tell that as well.

After all, she is just wandering around this place most of the time.
The most impressive thing which I found on her is:
Every time, she passes by the staffs' room.
She will always stare into the mirror.
And then, she will wave her hand toward the mirror.
Seems like someone is waving to her too.
She then touches the mirror, trying to grab the object's hand.
I wonder how many time she tries and tries..
but nope, she can't grab any of the fingers either.
And then, she leave her "twin sister" with a smile.
When she takes a couple steps, she will return to the same place and do the same all again.

She is just lovely.
But, sometime can be difficult too.

Is she abandoned to this terrible place?
Yes, in my view.
