Spent the afternoon there
Watching him sitting
and asleep in the chair
Sometimes we spoke
A lot I just sat
Touching his arm
Watching limbs twitch
Seeing fingers shake
Feeling muscle spasm
Reclining the chair for him
then upright again
Moving pillows
Eyes open, words
don’t make sense
context confused
Clear question
I hear, but
is he confused?
Legs swollen
but face hollow
such contrast
Remembering him as before
Remembering him right now
Which memories will last?

Yes, Alzheimer’s and other interrelating health complications that can’t be managed any better. When he has a bad day, is upsetting for me, This is the only way I can deal with it.

I’ve been meaning to ask about your Dad. It’s good to hear an update though I’m sorry it’s not a more positive one. Thinking of you. I hope he’ll be able to enjoy Christmas?

Hoping he should at least have the energy for a meal out visiting friends. I will try to time a visit as well.

When I was young I found it strange when I realized that salt was an ingredient in cake and cookies. But I know now that cake wouldn’t be cake without the salt too. Carry on man, carry on.

There is indeed bitterness within the sweetness of life. I know all will be as it will be and maybe one day I will look back on this time as precious moments together.
