My mom could be quite a handful, which I have come to e as a blessing as the years have gone by but did not always appreciate when she was alive, especially after her Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

The news came as no surpri to us kids, of cour. We’d en our tough, sharp-witted mom change. But Mom was not about to take Alzheimer’s lying down. “There’s nothing wrong with me!” she insisted, even after she sideswiped a cop, denied doing it and then blamed it all on him.

Eventually my brother and his wife moved Mom to a sweet little hou on the property next to theirs so they could keep an eye on her. They built a lighted path between the two hous so Mom could visit when she wanted, which occasionally happened at 5: when she thought it was 5: At Christmas, my sister-in-law, Toni, would hang Christmas lights along the way.

One thing we couldn’t do was make her eat properly, especially after she nearly burned the hou down making tuna (金枪鱼) salad. So we arranged for a nior meals-on-whee

ls program to deliver her meals. At first she wouldn’t let them in the hou. “This is ridiculous,” she said. “I know how to eat!” Then she offered to help them deliver meals to “people who really need them”.

Eventually she relented — except that she would simply keep all the meals in the fridge, untouched, in ca she happened to have hungry visitors. When we told the volunteers this, they were wonderfully wi and pretty soon they got Mom to eat. She even admitted that the food was “pretty good, considering”. We’re convinced the good nutrition helped keep her in her home a little longer before she had to enter a care facility.

So how proud am I that our friends at Volunteers of America, which operates meals-on-wheels programs for the elderly all over the country? Very proud. It was angels, after all, who were able to get my mother to eat.
