John,
Your's is a sad situation. Or rather, should I say that your Mother's is a sad situation. And it's never fun or nice to make Mom cry. Been there, done that, never ends with a good feeling.
My sister's father-in-law died about ten or fifteen years ago from what they first thought was Dementia, and then Alzheimers. Alzheimers is often the given diagnoses when nothing else can be found to explain it, but truth be told that Alzheimers can't actually be proven until a post-mortem, autopsy. What science has found that in the cases of Alzheimers is that there is an increased aluminum content in the brain matter, but again, that can't be found or determined until an autopsy is performed. In the case of my sister's late father-in-law, what actually was going on was that he was having non-stop mini strokes that slowly deteriorated his brain until he passed away. But in his case as he slowly failed, he lost job after job because he was thought to be a screw up, but really wasn't. I didn't know that he was having problems and one year at a Christmas gathering at my sister and brother-in-laws house, had a recording of the movie "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", the year that it came out. As the others feasted, he and I sat in the TV room and laughed our tails off. Then after it finished, he decided that he wanted to take a walk, so my bother-in-law went with him. I didn't think a thing about it, but then my sister pulled me off to the side and told me that he began getting lost on walks withing a couple or few blocks of his house. At the time, they didn't know or understand what was happening to and with him. In time, he would call 9-1-1 because there would be a strange woman in his him that he didn't know and didn't belong there...his wife of 30 or 40 years, which broke her heart. And the last straw was when she got a call at work from a neighbor that he was walking around the neighborhood in his underwear, after she dressed and fed him, then went to work. Because they lived alone, the boys grown and married, she put him in a nursing home where he lasted and slowly deteriorated over a period of about ten years, and then passed. His wife didn't miss a lunch or dinner with him that entire time, even though he stopped recognizing her and their sons years before his passing. Its a sad, sad thing. So far my family has been spared.
Bless you and yours. Bless your sister and father. Bless your mother. Making Mom cry, well...

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
