Familiar strangers
Memories to trace
Inconceivable dangers
Past forgotten in haste
Alive in the present
Again and again
Feeling all hurt
As if occurring right then
Share of the joys
Rediscovering seems
Each minute employs
With this living disease...

For those suffering with Alzheimer's

Thank you Vic for this poignant write, you render that tremendous state powerfully.

And the title is very appropriate too.

Love,

Victor, I cannot begin to imagine how heart-breaking it must be for the sufferer and the sufferer's family. Even more, I can't imagine how difficult it must be going from the clearer moments to the cloudy and back and not knowing in which the next moment will be. My heart goes out to all directly and indirectly concerned, for strength, peace and most of love and the knowledge that one is loved.
