I mentioned the other day the "outpouring of love" that the Democratic Underground twits were showing for Margaret Thatcher. More recent news shows she is not doing well, and she and her family deserve our prayers
Former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher’s short-term memory has faded to the extent that she cannot remember the start of a sentence by the end, her daughter Carol has revealed. The "Iron Lady", 80, who has suffered a series of minor strokes, can still vividly recall events in the distant past but no longer reads much because it is "pointless", Carol Thatcher said, describing her mother as "very frail".
"She doesn’t read much because of her memory loss. It’s pointless. She can’t remember the beginning of the sentence by the time she reaches the end. She picks up on little bits of the news."
"She can talk very lucidly about things that happened half a century ago but she cannot remember the last minute. She’s had a series of very small strokes and that’s the net effect.
It is very sad. It is a shame that there really isn’t any cure. Suffice it to say, the Iron Lady made her mark on history. God Bless Her!
Absolutely, God bless her. She’s an amazing woman, and she’s been in my prayers.
