A Caregiver's Obsession

Again, my mum thinks that, Frankie may still have a chance to improve his memory

She believes that Frankie can rebuild his memory again

She reads that an Alzheimer's can't store any memory that occurs moment before

But my dad still could remember and do thing that he does routinely,

Like the password to unlock the alarm system and cleaning the dogs dung

She said if he were a real Alzheimer's, it would be impossible for him to remember them

She is so ambitious and positive thinking

Now she wants to rebuild his life,

she thinks that by making his everyday the same routine, he will slowly rebuild a new set of memory 

She is right in term of his safety, if it works, it will ease the work of care giving and also reduce the possibility of  him getting lost, and living without a purpose.

But I know her 

And I keep repeating the same saying to her 

"You have to accept the fact that it is him, a man with an colorful past and now in his 60 and inflicted to Alzheimer like most elder citizens do"

I have this thought is not because I m giving up on Frankie,

It is because I cant bear to see her getting up set over him

And don't want my mum fall in to great depression and disappointment by giving too much hope

For I crave for Frankie to recover his memory fully

But I just both of them could enjoy peacefully in the rest of their life.
