Wow... a compelling write indeed, that tells a sad story. I can relate as my mother had alzheimer's disease for years and when it got worse, that dull stare was scary, not knowing what was going on in her sweet mind. I am saddened by this reminder. I loved her so. A good write, however. Congrats on a well deserved win. One love. Joy Wells
