So, when my husband had his stroke in Feb, our son came home for a month. Bob reverted to calling me Mom, like we called each other (Mom / Dad) when son was home. Then he calls me Mommy (sometimes Daddy!) because of our pets. We called by name or the Mom/Dad if we are talking to the pets about something (like go sit with Daddy). So last night, after he went to bed and I was on the computer, just around the door frame from the bedroom, he calls to me "Mommy" I go in and ask what, and he says, "I'm glad to meet you".

Ahhh... that was sweet, I'm sure he was saying he was glad he met me and our lives became one.
