Margaret Thatcher‘s daughter reveals in a new book that her mother has been claimed by dementia.
Heartbreaking.
The former Prime Minister of the U.K. struggles to remember the simplest facts and on her worst days, struggles to finish sentences.
Thatcher’s daughter also writes of how her mother keeps forgetting that husband Denis died in 2003.
“I had to keep giving her the bad news over and over again,” she wrote.
“Every time it finally sank in that she had lost her husband of more than 50 years, she’d look at me sadly and say ‘Oh’ as I struggled to compose myself.
“‘Were we all there?’ she’d ask softly.”
So, so sad.
The Iron Lady’s daughter goes on to say, “I had always thought of her as ageless, timeless and 100 percent cast-iron damage-proof.”
It’s a good reminder for us all not to take for granted every moment we have with our moms and dads, right?
