Drifting...

[mythingperson]

I’m watching the fireflies circle lazily around the weeds in my front yard, and thinking about thoughts. I see, in my mind’s eye, little electrical impulses flowing from point to point, neurons firing off like those swirling fireflies, hazy clouds of impulses that make a mind

"Tying the fireflies with your neighbor and grandmother was just amazing."

Thank you so much. :)

It's a hard thing, and especially hard to see with someone you love. I have hope that we'll find more and more ways to alleviate and eventually cure it, because right now it's just this terrible fact of life, and that sucks.

This is such a beautiful and sad entry, and between my sister and sister-in-law, the cruelty of dementia is on my mind a lot these days.

Losing your memories and sense of who you are is to lose your way, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. That it causes you to be lost to other people is even worse. At some point, you may not realize what's happening, but it will never stop hurting those who love you.

It's a terrible, terrible thing. I just wish there was more we could do to make it better. *hugs*
