I only knew my great grandma "Lucy" or Lucia a very short time. And only had a small handful of interactions with her when I was much younger. By the time I got to personally meet her, she was already living in a nursing home in Lakin, KS. That is said to be specialized for Alzheimer's/dementia patients. I do remember that we always had to make sure we took her bag of chocolate candies. And it had to be a certain kind. But I always heard all kinds of stories from the older generation of our family. They always told so many stories of her being like a mother to all of them. Most of them still call her "Mom" til this very day. I remember the story of how my great grandfather & her actually met and how they ended up married. And til this day my mom has always made sure to keep her picture hung up in the kitchen.. no matter where we would move to she always makes sure to keep her photo in the kitchen. They said she was always in the kitchen cooking for all the kids and her husband. She always had to have on her pearl necklace. And her dresses always had to have the low cut V in the front, because she knew that's how her husband loved her dresses!! She always wore them like that, because of him, even after he had passed away. He died when my mom was very young, not sure exactly what age, but she never did remarry. And the day she passed away she kept saying she was waiting for her husband to come home. She was waiting on her love. I never knew what Alzheimer's was or exactly how affected a person until that moment. I learned that and dementia run in our family.
