Today I again visited my mother in her nursing home (where she is comfortably settled). I have 2 other siblings and so she is frequently visited.
I got her some peaches but they weren't the kind she normally likes, i.e. soft and juicy but still having a pronounced bite to them. I was surprised that she liked them! Her tastes changed after her 2nd stroke and seemed to have again with her growing dementia. She is a sweet, lovely woman of 94 who has overcome 2 strokes, a heart attack and - last xmas - pneumonia!
