The line about the truck and the keys, and the idea of <br />the missing pants is bang on! We heard that often enough. <br />I nodded my head through you entire piece, but you have also graced<br />this with amazing beauty and reverence. I am awed.<br /><br />Please read my poem "In Dementia" on my blog, if you get the chance.<br /><br />Thanks for taking my image to another level.<br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827113736357895263.post-80777863970861007502012-03-26T00:32:28.852-07:002012-03-26T00:32:28.852-07:00Way to hit it out the ball-park and have us all so...Way to hit it out the ball-park and have us all sobbing in the aisles!!!

And only the blue heron understands his plight of loneliness and loss of memory.Kerry O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720862912375945249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827113736357895263.post-39241259883812082472012-03-26T00:20:00.551-07:002012-03-26T00:20:00.551-07:00Poles...we don't need no stinkin poles, esse. ...Poles...we don't need no stinkin poles, esse. <br />I'll be gone on business for a smell, West Des Moines here I come.

Her alzheimer's was so heartbreaking...those flashes when she remembered me and then to watch her face as she forgot.
