It's kind of comforting to know that I'm not the only person with poor memory of my childhood. I've discovered that if I write down the memories close at hand, more of them come back, but otherwise my whole childhood is a five-minute montage.
It frightens me that I could become so detached from objects I care about now. But it's good to know that it's possible to feel OK about being that detached, and so calm about what's happening with the disease process.
I kind of think becoming detached from objects might not happen in your case.
And in a way I think his having come up with this idea of having his visitors take stuff was a way of caring about his stuff. If he really didn't care, then that wouldn't occur to him.

The viewpoint that losing one's memories doesn't take away one's essence (at least from the point of view of other people) was interesting.
