The helicopter whirred, little Julian laughed again, and sadly, my mind became a blur. It was so disorienting.
The responsibilities I shouldered previously were no more. They had to end, as my mind was more off than on now. Mostly I was quiet except when I “awoke” to the mists of my past, not knowing what was real anymore. I yearned for stability and was rewarded with none. Every morning, with the tips of my fingers stretched, a yawn escaped my lips as I greeted the dawn anew, wondering what I would remember, if anything at all.
Que Sera Sera.

So well written, Susi! A mind in a state of confusion is hard to live with and hard on loved ones, as well.

❤ Thank you so much, Eugenia! Day to day, we all can't help to be perplexed about things, but to watch and experience the demise of function, it can be devastating.

It is, Susi. Even though my dad was in his eighties, it was hard to see when he started losing his memory.

I can imagine this is what having Alzheimer’s is like – knowing that you are forgetting and wondering if you will remember anything when you wake up…

Thank you, Sadje. I’m glad I was able to convey that. I do hope this is something we won’t have to deal with in our family. It’s not pretty, incredibly difficult to manage.
