Alzheimer's has well and truly taken its toll on my Mum. She's been in hospital with another matter for the last few weeks and last night I decided to show her a few clips on my phone from old comedy shows that we used to watch. I remember watching this with her when it was first shown in 1989 and countless times since. Last night she just gave a little smile as she watched and tapped the screen at both Del and Trigger as if she knew them but wasn't sure from where. A lot of her memories are now gone but some are still there.
