It's difficult watching dementia take over a family member.

We had Christmas with my Mother today. People in attendance are myself, wife, our two kids (14 & 19), my sister, nephew (14), my Grandmother (Dad's mom, Dad is deceased), and my son's girlfriend. I didn't realize how fast my grandmother was going down hill until today. She couldn't remember who's gift was who's. She bought the kids stuff she would have gotten them 7 years ago (I guess that's how she remembers them). After all the gifts are open she goes on this rant about events that never happened involving my Grandfather (deceased) getting hammered with a group of buddies and chasing women in the last years of his life. The man never drank in his life and could barely walk much less chase pussy in the last years of his life. It was depressing as frick and really eye opening how fast it can progress and come and go in the blink of an eye. Just last week I had a conversation with her and she seemed normal as hell. Oh well sorry to talk about downer shite on Christmas Eve. Just wondering if others have dealt with this.
