Many things have changed in my life since the last summer Olympics.
Mom has Alzheimer’s disease and does not want to watch the Olympic Games with
me. At least, I think the issue is the Alzheimer’s disease. I always enjoyed
watching the Olympic Games with Mom and Mom used to enjoy watching me.
I have not watched the Olympic Games much this year. I did
not watch the opening ceremonies and when Mom watched with me, we always sit on
the couch and watch the opening ceremonies. The few competitions I have watched
I do not enjoy the way I used to when Mom watched them with me. I will attempt
watching them again on Wednesday, but it just is not the same. I miss watching
them with Mom.
This experience got me to thinking about some of the things
Mom and I used to do together. I missed the things Mom and I enjoyed, but I am
not sure I want to do them without her. I know the reason Mom acts the way she
does. I know that she will only get worse and I want to cry because I miss the
woman that my mother used to be. Maybe I need to focus more on the things Mom
enjoys now. Maybe I need to find activities that I can enjoy by myself.
