Turned 56 last week. In the mist of my brother in law's funeral with the entire family gathered, one of my sister's said to me "Happy Birthday". My mother then said "Whose having a birthday. Whose birthday is it?" This was after trying to call my father the week before and the conversation went like this:
Dad it's Pam...
Who?
Pam, your daughter Pam.
Kim?
No Pam, Pam your daughter
I don't know a Kim
No Pam
Who is this?
Pam =sigh= your eldest daughter Pam
Here's Reba [my mother] talk to her...

After awhile birthday means nothing. I just know I'm old and getting older every day...

Pam, is your father hard of hearing or is he suffering from memory loss?

You know, you just hit on one of the worst parts about being over 50. So many of those dear to us are dying, getting really frail... even people our own age. It's so sad and there's nothing we can do except be a good example.Last edited by mimitabby; 02-14-2007 at 10:20 AM.

Pops unfortunately has dementia and is also hard of hearing... it's so hard to be around him anymore. Poor thing.
