Comment from Lulube
this hit my heart for this past month my parents had to be moved to the same place but split up across each other, each in a different building. my father has called me Laura, my moms older sister who died 30 yrs ago. I hope my mom doesn't forget who I am, she is my everything.
lulube good luck in the contest

Comment from Ogden
This silent, impaired comprehension "monologue" is an excellent idea, and tells a touching story.
You have written a most worthy entry to the FamilyFree Style Contest.
Good luck!

This is a very fine piece of writing. It has a wonderful cadence and pace. Excellent verse and verbiage. Well done, Anno. is this a sad tale of dementia or a kinda teasing Mom thing? I wish you well in all your future endeavors..

Comment from Cindy McIntyre
This was so heartfelt and such a well-written poem about Alzheimer's or dementia? It is so difficult for people to lose their memory and also hard for the family who wishes they weren't forgotten. :( This is a beautiful depiction of a family (although honest and sad) and a lovely freestyle for the contest. I hope you do well!

Comment from Hugh McDowell
Poignant. Any for of Alzheimers must be so confusing and heartbreaking for both the victim and family. Very well written and expressed. The experiences you describe are what I heard from those caring for a patient. Excellent. Hugh

Comment from Sally Law
Love this bittersweet poem. I am living this out right now with my mother-in-law. She is in the final stages of Alzheimer's. She is loosing her ability to swallow. She does remember me on most days, I think. She is almost always in a state of confusion. It's hard to watch. Thank you for this. Baeyer well done.
All my best to you and yours,
Sally

Comment from Mitchell Brontė
The pain and suffering Alzheimer's brings to both the patient and the relatives is brought home with such heartfelt words. You are a fantastic writer but more so you invite the reader into the scenario which pulls the strings of pain to a breathless stop.
All the best for the contest.

Comment from kiwijenny
This gave me chills to think of a darling mum no longer able to recognize her daughter, her son.
I wish you luck with the contest. I hope it's not biographical for you. There's so much study in natural medicine on Alzheimer's...coconut oil to give another fuel for the brain has had surprising results.
God bless
