Chevrolet's new Holiday commercial...

Wish it were that easy to snap my Mom back into reality. She is 94. We do thanksgiving at our house every year. Thursday she kept asking me where we were. I would say: "Mom, this is my house."

She asked where Mark (my older brother) was. He was sitting next to her. She still knows her sons MOST of the time, but could not remember any grandkids or greats.

Sad thing to see someone as tough as my mom was for years lose her mind.

Sorry to read this, Lynn. IMHO, Dementia is the most cruel way to go. Cancer is horrible too, but dementia steals the persons whole life from them before it ends.
And yes, the ad is mildly deceiving, in that it would need to be an early stage to have a person recover that well with just a car ride down memory lane.

Lost my mom to dementia a year ago May. My mother in law is going through it now.

Anyway, on a happier note - the little village is Holly Michigan, a small town just north of here. That's where my dentist is.

The Wyoming drive in is down my Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn MI.
