Mom/Miriam did a very unusual response last night. Her dear friend Vilma was in the room and I was explaining to her how funny Miriam is.
I began telling her about one of our morning prayers that occurred in the early 80's. As a background, we had visited charismatic churches in the past and mom/miriam has this knack about remembering just about anything. She began to pray the heavenly language of "speaking in tongues". Her eyes were closed and I became very concerned. I shook her body and asked her if she was okay. She ignored me and went on "speaking in tongues". This went on for a prolonged period of time. I kept shaking her body to snap her out of that trance. Then she slowly opened one eye and looked at me with the "I got you look". She laughed so hard and so did I!
As I was telling this story to Vilma, suddenly Miriam began to laugh again with some sounds. This was much more than the previous blog update. We couldn't hold back our tears. Miriam definitely hears and understands our conversation. Her memory remains intact. She remembered this event that occurred more than 27 years ago.
So, dear family and friends. Please talk to her. Keep her updated about your lives. Share with her everything that you can. She hears, she understands and she remembers.
In His Time,
Dad/Alex
