I love what you wrote: “and so we live and love and enjoy the moments.” My husband was also diagnosed with MCI. The things I’m noticing most are short term memory issues, repetition of questions (within 5 minutes or less) and technical challenges that used to be his forte. I hear “where do we keep …(spatula / pizza cutter etc)???” On a daily basis. Like you, I want others to see him the way he has always been. This group is a wonderful support system. My husband’s sister (6 years older) just passed away from Alzheimer’s and he has watched her decline. That makes it even more difficult for him. You sound like a lovely person doing your very best on a daily basis. I guess that is all we can do.
