      ALZHEIMER'S...The Thief

      A thief came awhile back and slowly took our Mother away. He didn't do it all at once, but by pieces every day.

      At first we hardly noticed and sometimes even smiled. "Oh, she's just getting older," we told ourselves, our long suit was denial. The haunted look for what once was the searching, asking, pacing, the thief had all the cards in hand, with time against Mom racing. Mom tried her best with what she had, and Lord knows we did too, but the thief just took control and stole each bit of her we knew. But now that hard battle's over, and Mom's resting in her final Home. God made the thief give back to us The Mother we had known.
