Mother Disappearing

Mother Disappearing repaginating reality, in private fashion, in a doorless tabernacle, dementia holds mother hostage no ransom to be had. suspended like Gods nearly touching Adam though powerless to deliver lucid breath to their mother, the children, bereft of her reassurance, are lost as she is. ©Kathryn McLoughlin Collins November 19, 2011

The doorless tabernacle - that's gripping, and God nearly touching Adam is a bold touch. Congrats on the selection. daver

Alzheimers is a devastating disease when one-way communication may be the only avenue left. But, with faith and perseverance there may still be moments of clarity. We can but hope... Keith
