Today I begin the physical process of moving my 96 y/o mother into a #memorycare residence, with help from #family. We’ll set up her room with the furniture basics, assemble a bed frame, etc., assess how everything fits, and adjust the plan to reality. There are a few more steps over the next week+ until we bring her to her new space and support her moving in and getting settled. #dementia#alzheimers#bittersweet So many #feels. #familymatters#multigenerational#life
I think is alright, language is a bridge and sometimes we feel more comfortable speaking our native language than others. But I don’t really mind speaking in English or Spanish with people I meet in Brazil. But the moment of realization that you are talking with another native speaker is always full of joy.
#feels-nice to speak with other bilingual or polyglots :)
"It is often said that Anarchists live in a world of dreams to come, and do not see the things which happen today. We do see them only too well, and in their true colors, and that is what makes us carry the hatchet into the forest of prejudice that besets us."
Languages are weird (lemmy.world)
