Live Longer is Asian. I share this information because we often have discussions about ethnicity and she regularly states, “I don’t see color.” She typically follows this up with, “Actually I don’t see anything.” These statements are both true – her vision is quite poor.
In addition to her vision being poor, her memory is a bit on the brinks and she is starting to do things I haven’t witnessed since grade school. Examples include putting her eyeglasses in her purse then looking for them – in her purse, on the plane, etc. – for hours. This is something several of my school teachers would do on a regular basis.
Most recently, she lost her cell phone. We had just arrived at the Sky Club, she had taken off her coat, and her phone was missing. She searched everywhere for the phone, all to no avail. I decided to help her search, picked up the coat, felt the pockets, and then decided to put it on and, once on, try the pockets again. As I attempted to put it on I found the phone – in the sleeve of her pocket. “I guess I just got tired and decided to leave it there,” she told me. “Right,” I replied.
