They were in denial about it
That is so tricky, I know my mother never accepted it, and then it took hold and even if you told her, she would forget in the next five minutes.
Yes you have to have a bit of humour in life, but you are so right about a life time ago and just the other day, that is how it feels.
Thank you so much for your kind words, and hope hubby's stepmom can get some sort of diagnosis or help.
thanks Ed❤️
You are so very welcome Sam :)
