Mom has always had beautiful hands with long tapered fingers. She used those hands picking cotton throughout childhood. When I was 2 or 3 years old, she went out and picked cotton to earn enough money to buy me a new pair of shoes.
Those hands taught me how to peel and devein shrimp. Those hands also washed and folded my laundry for me. (Funny part was I had already washed the clothes and just dropped the basket while I ran to the store! LOL) Those hands locked the backdoor screen so Woody would go home and have dinner at our house instead of eating at his mama's table.
This blog is a product of a communication tool I use with my mom, Ann who has dementia. I find by sitting in her room, sketching her, it helps both of us in countless ways and hopefully it will add something to your understanding of caring for parents with dementia or alzheimer's.
