INDIANA

BLOOMINGTON

Hi, I'm Deb Curtis and I live in Bloomington, Indiana. My LO is my 87-year-old

mother, Virginia Barden, who lives on a special care dementia unit of a nursing

home within 10 minutes of me here in Bloomington, so I get to visit her daily.

My 4 siblings and I moved her here from her assisted living apartment where she

lived with our dad in North East, PA, until his death in June 2002. Her memories

are of NY State, though - Ripley, in Chautauqua County where she and Dad raised

all of us and Gansevoort, NY, where she was born and raised and where her sister

and my oldest brother live. Her mind takes her to all of these places during the

day so I have to figure out where she' " been " so I can respond appropriately.

I'm sure I exasperate her at times for not " keeping up " !
