[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 667293, member: 18958"] Hi Cedar That makes sense. Maybe it is because of my own Mother...maybe it is because D H Mama seems so heroic...I want her to be happy and to look forward to every day. To feel every day she has left is a marvel...to feel like she gets presents...every day she is still alive. I fear that this might be why D H wishes it was her time. Because he wants her to live in this way. And he fears she is not. Maybe I want it for him. That when he thinks of his Mama he can see her in his mind's eye...thrilled with living every day. Do not tell D H this, because I do not want him to feel bad. It made me sad for him. That he had to live feeling bad for his mother. You know, music is transformative for older people. Even people with dementia who have been unresponsive for years...will respond to music, with happiness. I remember a film with an old African American man...when earphones playing Jazz were put on his ears, he began to sing and dance and smile and laugh. His daughter was there. She cried. Does D H Mama do needlework? COPA [/QUOTE]
