One more overdue post

Sorry to post so many updates on the same day.... I lost my "password" and got a little behind. (OK, I forgot my password.  Like most children of Alzheimers patients, I hate to admit to a faulty memory..)
  Mom's grandson Ben is getting married in July to the lovely Anna, a woman that I know Nana will adore. Unfortunately, this wedding is in Greenville SC, a distance that is just too far for her.  I know her limitations, but I wasn't sure if she would understand our reluctance to have her travel to the wedding.
  The invitation arrived, and Nana opened the envelope.  She looked at me and said, "Oh. I would LOVE to be there."  She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Will there be family there at the wedding?" I assured her that all the aunts and uncles planned to make the trip with their families.  She was relieved by this news. "Then I think that I should stay home.  I might be ok, but I also might make a scene, and if I did, I would feel terrible.  The attention should always remain on Ben and Anna." 
  That's my Mom.
