2 weeks before my mother passed physically and mentally she was in a bad place. She had cancer that spreaded to her brain and it pretty much rendered her with onset dementia and memory loss. She was very weak and needed me to help her to walk. At that time her Doctors gave her less than a month to live. She barely remembered me or name as each day passed. Its a very surreal and heart breaking pain to watch your middle aged mother lose her memory and sense of identity during the golden years of her life. The things i seen and heard first hand from her.... all I will say is that I hope none of you or your parents go through it. I had to bathe, dress and put her make up on her to get her ready to take her to her daily radiation treatments. Usually my mom is either napping or looking out the window quietly on our trips but Jamaica Funk came on the radio and my mom was singing and dancing in the backseat. It was like her spirit was jumpstarted. She was singing the song word for word, smiling and clapping her hands during the entire track. I will never forget how the sun was making her eyes and white teeth all sparkly. She was so content and in the moment. A range of emotions came over me but I did not want to steal her moment so I had to hold back tears/quivering lip into my gut and channel it into being happy that my dying mother is finding happiness at the near end of her life. RIP Mother
