During the last fifteen years of my mother's life she suffered with Alzheimer's disease (老年性痴呆). Until then she had been a bright,      woman deeply interested and involved in the world around her. I would go home to visit her in Virginia and she would look at me in a(an)      way and ask, Who are you? I would answer, I'm your son. Where do you live? She would ask. In California, I would tell her. Isn't that interesting, she would say, I have a son in California.
She seemed      forgetful and confused at the beginning of the disease,      later on she would go      periods of intense anxiety. She would pace through the house she had lived in most of her life      uneasily that she wanted to go home. Or she would leave home and wander away if she were      for a short time.   
Hoping to please her and put her mind      I would take her for a drive, visiting sites where she had lived as a     . In the yard of the hillside house in Shipman I sat in the car and admired the view of the old oaks and long green lawn. I      my mother there was a little girl playing with the pet lamb she had been so fond of. I looked to her for some     . She shook her head and said, I want to go home.
Over the years I have decided that what my mother was calling home was not a     , but a time. I suspect it was a time when she was much     , when her children were still underfoot, when her husband was still vigorous and attentive.
Watching my mother's suffering set me wondering      I would have in mind if someday I couldn't find      and wanted to go there. In this family we tend to be long-lived and we grow fuzzy (糊涂的) minded as the years go by. At eighty I have already noticed some      symptoms. My doctor says the forgetfulness is only      and that it es with age. Still the fear of Alzheimer's is haunting there. Someday      and when I bee even more      minded than I am now, unable to drive and unable to tell you where home is, my dear son, I expect I will ask you to take me home, I know you will do your best to find the place I need to be. I leave these notes for your     .
