I wonder if Jane knows it Valentines day today.

I wonder if she is thinking of us, missing her family.

I wonder if I will ever be able to hold her hand again & let her lay her head on my shoulder to rest.

Never ever in this horrible journey of dementia did I think I would be forbidden to see my stepmom. Government at its finest. Because let me be very clear – this choice is a government mandate – not the facility where Jane lives, not the choice of my family, nor any of the other families with loved ones in the home. It comes direct from our government.
