My mother has an amazing memory that seems to be more and more clear as she continues on an upward swing. We always laugh about how she would probably remember all the details of any event from any number of years ago, but at the same time she can forget why she walked into a room. Today one of her friends called her as she misplaced her jacket. They had gone out to lunch together and with others about a month ago and she was backtracking all the places she went to see if she had left the coat there. She asked my mom what the name of the restaurant was that they visited and if she had the phone number. My mom told her the name of the place and how to spell it, but did not have the phone number. Then she asked if by chance my mom remembered what she was wearing that day. Of course, my mom did in fact remember the details as to what she was wearing. This really helped, as she then decided that she had probably not worn the jacket with that specific outfit. We laughed some more.

I Found God today in the amazing memory that my mom still has and the good laugh that we enjoyed.
