In this episode # 79,
, I talk a little bit about Easter When I was a kid. Easter
is a holiday for the children. When I was a kid, one of the
1st
signs of spring was Easter. One of the 1st signs of
Easter was the
fact that we were able to go out and get some dress close to where
for Easter
Sunday.
I talk about Mama not remembering those times. The times
when
we were kids and we went out my front yard running colored eggs for
Easter, the
times where we all got candy for Easter Mama doesn’t remember any
of that.
One of the other things that really stick out is the fact
that Easter is a Christianity holiday. It’s a holiday where
Christians
celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
It used to be that whenever I wanted to know anything about
the Bible or the church. I could go to Mama and say, Mama, what
does this mean,
what does that mean? And usually Mama knew right off the top of her
head what
things were. But with this devastating disease called, dementia,
Mama can no
longer do that. Mama no longer remembers the holidays and things of
that sort.
I literally had to look up on the web, the true meaning of
Easter. But anytime we look up anything like that giving with
religion on the
web. We always look at our King James version of the Bible. To make
sure the
web says exactly what the Bible says. In years past, all would’ve
had to done
would’ve been gone to Mama.
This dementia has taken all of mamas memories of not just
the
Easter holiday, but all of the holidays. Mama no longer remembers
any holiday
of the year she doesn’t remember doing anything that we did as kids
she doesn’t
remember anything much about anything. Dementia has turned my
mother back into
a child. I seen on Facebook. The other day a picture of 2 people
holding onto a
child below that picture was 2 people holding on to an older person
and that
made perfect sense, because that’s exactly what dementia does. When
your kid
you got mommy’s fingers in one hand daddy’s fingers in the other
hand, trying
to walk. As time goes on, we get older our parents get older and
sometimes they
get dementia and when that happens, they no longer have your hands,
but you
have their hands.
