It’s been nearly a year since I have been able to sit with my stepmom. To hold her hand & talk to her.

I hate everything about covid but I hate the most it has taken away my ability to be present with my stepmom. It has robbed me of time with her – and her with her family.

This memory is from 2 years ago. It states I’d been having weekly lunches with my stepmom for 3 years. It is crazy for me to make sense of this horrible disease. I absolutely never thought she would still be a part of this world 5 years later when I first began to visit her in the memory care facility.
