She Ate A Little

Mother actually ate some yesterday.  She didn't know she was eating.  She never opened her eyes, but if I put food in her mouth, she made the motions of chewing and swallowing.  She even drank through a straw a little! She wasn't aware that I was there.  She doesn't know me anymore, anyway, I don't think.  If she ever calls me anything, it's "Mother".  I have been told that that is normal.  This really doesn't bother me at all.
I appreciate all of your heartfelt comments. Thank you so much.
