My mom was a beautiful woman but always very humble. However, in her Alzheimer days, she started saying, “Here she is Miss America” every time she entered a room. One time when we went to a restaurant, the hostess greeted us and of course my mom said her favorite phrase. The hostess thanked my mom, not knowing that she was referring to herself! Also, I went for 10 years with my mom to the Senior games so that she can compete in ping pong, which we discovered is very good for people with neurological disorders. Each year she earned a medal.
