For some reason after my dad’s stroke my husband was the only person he consistently recognized. My mother went back and forth between being his older cousin and his first wife, and I was sometimes my mother and sometimes my older sister, but he always knew who my husband was, despite not having known him longer than a couple of decades.
I must also respond in saying that Gary Trudeau has carried on with this part of his ‘toons regarding the character Lacey for laughs, but anyone who’s gone through it with whomever, it’s just not funny.

I would be excited too if my sister visited (especially since I don’t have a sister).

My sister cashed in her chips in mid-January, after 20 years of a very slow form of dementia.

It’s not the dementia. Jeremy bores her to death, and she’s not ready to go yet.

This is why think “Flowers for Algernon” is one of the saddest books.

Poor Lacey! Someone needs to rescue her from terminal annoyance.
