At Christmas time, I knew mom was declining in health when she and dad could not make it for Christmas Eve. I decided I would give her something to look forward to and that was an anniversary party.
After that everything seemed to speed up. She stopped eating. Did not want to get dressed or go downstairs for meals and dad went into a frenetic overdrive to keep her going. By the end of February I tried enticing her with our annual wild flower trip. She tried, but when it came time to go she did not have the energy to go.
March2020-wow the month seemed to last a year. Spring break began and has never ended.
