I was trapped in denial limbo as my Dad
Drifted into the depths of dementia
No! It can't be!
Why him? Why us?
Lost in a labyrinthine maze of helplessness
And disbelief trying to make sense of it
"Not my healthy, gracefully aging Dad!
He'll beat this disease!," I kept on telling myself
Soon, I stopped believing my lies
He's been gone over a year now
Rest in peace, Dad
Love you so much!
