That’s fascinating about the mother-daughter conversation which was identical even down to the pauses and reactions. I wonder if the daughter tried varying her responses.
But it’s so sad about Rita. You talk about her in such a beautiful moving way.
I had similar conversations with my mother, who had lewy bodies dementia. Oddly, though, she remembered the exact amount of cash that was locked in my uncle's safe deposit box. I was the executor of his estate and probably wasn't supposed to tell her that, but I figured "what difference does it make? She won't remember."
Yes memory is crucial to who we are. I suppose as your cancer gets worse you’ll unfortunately forget your friends here online as well, and so not post. Don’t worry about that however — you’ve given us plenty! This also opens up the topic of my first post. Each of us exist as value driven entities connected to the future only through the current hope/worry we have about it, and the past through our memory. https://eborg760.substack.com/p/post-1-the-instantaneous-nature-of

Thank you, Just In. I have lots of memories to share.

She kept you on your toes!
Maybe this will happen…you will have your writing to remind you…
