Kelly, I am very sorry to hear about your Mom. My Dad had dimentia for a while also before he passed away in 2004. Like your Mom, he could remember things from years ago, but couldn't remember what he did the day before. They both had what is called "long term memory", but their "short term memory" was gone. It's a very hard to see this happening to a loved one, and not be able to do anything about it. All you could do is show your love, and you did just that. I did the same with my Dad.
