Alzheimer's affects more families than you might think.

 “Hindsight”

Reflections of the hindsight that is 20/20…

The profound depth of the mind is perplexing

Things and events from the past

Can be summed up better

When reflecting in hindsight

Situations and circumstances

Remain clear in the mind of the elderly

Albeit entering the mind randomly

From childhood play to life changing events

Joyous or sorrowful they come spilling out

And for the first time in your adult life

You see the mirrored images

If you sit quietly and listen closely

To the hindsight reflections

You gain a deeper understanding

Of where the pieces of the puzzle fit

While catching glimpses of the past…although not yours

The reflections belong to the woman…I call Mother~

I can only imagine what you're going through. My mother is about to become 93 and still very sharp of mind.

I, too, am able to relate as the family took care of my father while we watched Alzheimer's disease devour him.

Love ya!

I can relate, Karen; towards the end, my father did not know us anymore. Love and best wishes,

My mom also had dementia. I heard Alzheimer's described as someone going through a house and turning off lights one by one, and I found that to be an accurate description of this devastating disease, that I would not wish upon anybody. The thought of losing my mind terrifies me.

My mother had dementia. She lived a separate life in her mind. She went back to younger times when she was able to cook and take care of her children. I was a young child in her mind. She found some comfort in these fantasies.

A very thoughtful perspective on life
told with love and understanding.
Nicely done.
