B) Since that photo was taken, she has rapidly fallen into the throes of dementia. This is never easy for any child, I know this is a reality that millions of people deal with every year. But when it comes to my mom this is particularly hard because her sharp mind was everything.

C) My mom is 98 and up until this past couple years she was so sharp she always kept me on my toes. Her mind was so naturally quick, funny, and smart. No one could get anything past her. Watching that slip away so fast has been devastating.

D) I want to assure you all that she is not in pain and she is getting the best 24-hour care. In terms of how she is now, at this point she only knows my name and I love you. I know many of you know what that reality is like...I'm still grappling with it.

E) A big reason I'm sharing this news with you is that so many of you have asked why I haven't posted a video of Maggie & her beloved dog Twinkle in the past few months. Now you understand why we haven't been able to share anything, here is a moment between them from this summerpic.twitter.com/IWdzoGAHTW

F) What I am most proud of when I comes to My Life On The D List is that show gave me the opportunity to show the world how naturally funny my parents were. When people tell me they feel like they know my mom, I always respond "you do!" She never put on a show, she was the show.

G) If you ever met my mom and asked for a photo, you should know it was a pleasure as much for her as it was for you. She loved making people happy and making people laugh. And trust me, I know she was the bigger star...here she is at my LA show in June greeting her many fans!pic.twitter.com/loWSzKckGG

H) I can't tell you how many invites I get addressed to Maggie and me.
@GloriaEstefan once joked that I wasn't allowed to come to her concert unless I brought Maggie! Here is a sweet video of@sharonstone meeting Maggie at my house. I'm so grateful these moments were captured.pic.twitter.com/xuTna345vBShow this thread -
I) One of the many perks of being in show business is having the ability/resources of being able to capture amazing moments. When I brought
@shanedawson's mom@TeresaYaw backstage at my show in LA, I had Teresa teach Maggie about Youtube...or as Maggie called it U2pic.twitter.com/Gxjs8KUH1iShow this thread -
J) I'm so lucky that I have six seasons of My Life On The D list to look back on and enjoy moments of my mom being herself...the Maggie you all came to know and love. Remember the "Faceplace" (aka Facebook) moment?pic.twitter.com/A6b24NvaPg

K) I would love it if you would respond to this thread with a video clip of your favorite Maggie moments or if you had the honor of meeting her a photo. While the reality for Maggie is different now, I want to remember the woman all of you fell in love with.

L) Could any photo sum up Maggie more than this one? Glass of wine in one hand (from the box, naturally) and her favorite daughter Twinkle in the other. TIP IT!! P.S. Those sunglasses were mine...she may have stolen them...allegedly!pic.twitter.com/6QSX3Ahghi

M) I will never forget how kind so many of you were to her. People ask why I'm friends with
@KimKardashian. It's simple, moments like these...when Maggie was depressed, Kim cheered her up by bringing her kids Saint and North to the house. It made Maggie's day.pic.twitter.com/cPzyOUfdaEShow this thread -

P) Look at her...such a natural...I’m surprised she didn’t push me out of the way!

Q) I am so touched by all the replies to this thread. I only wish my mom could read them. It has been a very rough 17 months and I couldn't have gotten through it without all of you.

Kathy I have never agreed with your politics but I spent the last 3 yrs being advocate and caretaker for the most important person in my life. I watched the dementia take her slowly. Everytime she forgot my name it changed my soul. She passed in Oct. Hang in there.pic.twitter.com/zEqqeQZ2nI

Humanity trumps politics
This video of your mother is so honest and beautiful, thank you for sharing it. -
It's my absolute favorite video ever. One of the most precious gifts I have left. And you're welcome. Thank you for watching it.
