Mamo's distant relative calls her now and then. She has slight dementia but still remembers Mamo's number. She would ask my mom in law for everything, doctor's consultation, books, brandy recipe lols you name it. Now and then, we bring her stuff that she needs. Whenever we go downtown we would stop and chat with her through her window and she would tell her life stories. Her name is Baba Victoria. The other day she called at home, asking if we could pick a loaf of bread from her place. She got plenty and doesn't want to throw it away. So I went and picked it up. Baba Victoria is always generous. She then asked my name. I told her my nickname but she couldn't process it. I repeated it 3x I paused for a while, then I remembered that my nickname isn't common here :) So I replied '' My name is ...Maria" "Oh, Maria, bless you. (With a big smile on her face) "Bless you too and thank you so much for the bread" Maria is a common name here. Oh well, it is close to my real name anyway :):) Some of our friends or families may be lonely. Especially nowadays that we couldn't even see or visit them. Drop them a message, call them and check how they are doing. Kahit minsan nakakatakot sumagot sa mga biglaang nangungumusta, (oy ano kaya kailangan nito, gipit den ako wag mangamusta, pero sige keri lang hehe ohh divaaa dyok ) Chillax this weeekend. Try not to worry much. Take care of yourself so we can take care of our loved ones. Sharing some photos from sunny Andalucia #throwback #life #photography #andalucia #originalcontent

Ganda ng photos mo talaga. I have heard stories about people who have dementia. Yong Lola ng hubby ko, hindi naman ganyan, pero may mga times na pabalik balik din mga tanong. But she knows us even my kids memorize nya. Mahina nalang ang mga bones nya, di na makalakad. I agree with you, for now, kailangan talaga natin pagtuonan ng pansin ang mga taong mahalaga sa atin through communication.
oo sis ganon mga may dementia depende den sa klase ng dementia kung ano meron sila :( Sana laging silang malakas at walang sakit :( Salamat sis

Aww, Baba Victoria is so sweet! Siguro nga sis, they get a bit lonely, especially the ones na may edad na because wala rin silang social media to nurture their social life. I’m glad you went and visited her, and I’m glad she remembers your Mamo’s number. The sky on the last photo is absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much sis Oo regular caller ni Mamo si lola hehehe
Ang ganda naman dyan sis, enjoy dyan sis, God bless and keepsafe sis.
