Judge Not

Looking back at the pictures 
daughter and I  took 
during Mom's time spent 
in Long Term Care,
I see love, caring and concern.

My oldest son believed 
GrandMom's Undue Influencer.

He slandered my name 
with many people 
including those 
with whom I worked/volunteered.

He lives hundreds of miles away. 
He came to visit once 
every two or three years.

He believed any facility doctor 
would diagnose Dementia.
 
He doesn't understand 
how facilities work.

How they do not want 
the diagnosis.

It raises the level of care
they must provide.

Means more outlay 
of funds per resident.

Is he trying to make amends now
working for a company 
that provides information, 
access to residents, 
through computer screens?

Perhaps reaching "a certain age"
Looking forward finally scares him

Has his life changed?
Not towards me.
His challenge?
Admitting he was wrong.
