“I used to take care of my daughter, now my daughter takes care of me.”

A dear, old friend used to say that to me often during the eight or so years I had the privilege of knowing her. For as long as I knew her, she had short-term memory problems. She preferred watching familiar shows like the Andy Griffith Show over anything modern, and she never met a cookie she didn’t like.
