Two Mothers

I have two Mothers.
My pre- and post-Alzheimer's Mother.

My pre-Alzheimer's Mother could not be a Mother.
She never seemed to love me.  She never seemed to care.

My post-Alzheimer's Mother needs me.  I think she loves me.
I feel closer to my post-Alzheimer's Mother.
I no longer feel like a Motherless child.

Are my two Mothers the same Mother?

Who's the Mother now? 

Childless

                                        Mother and Child, Mary Cassatt

I don’t have a child.

I wanted to have a child.

I miss my child.

I don’t have a grandchild.

I wanted to have a grandchild.

I miss my grandchild.
