I'm always at a loss for words in situations like that. Enjoy the time with Phyllis while you can. My mother's sister, also named Phyllis, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's while still in her 40's. That horrible disease robbed her of some of the best years of her life.

I have a ton of cousins - we seemed to have come in groups - the oldest "group" is in their late 70s, early 80s - I'm trying to keep in touch with them more for the same reasons you are. Hopefully you'll have many, many more visits with Phyllis.suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13432352442859238887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27429478.post-91273916557190127092014-06-26T08:44:29.215-04:002014-06-26T08:44:29.215-04:00God gave you the right words at the right time... ...God gave you the right words at the right time... how blessed Phyllis is to have you as her loving cousin.
