Dementia

A mind that is coming and going…what a terrible thing to live through. Not only for the person with the disease, but the people around it. Not knowing what point of your life you’re in, whether it be an adult, a child, a teenager, a baby. This horrible disease completely overtakes your life and doesn’t allow you to be the “normal” person God intended you to be. I have someone in my family with dementia. When I go visit her in the hospital she lays there in a vegetative state. Unaware of what’s going on around her. Talking to me asking me to go and play because she thinks we're both kids- She's 91 and I'm 27. Someone who I’ve been around my whole life…doesn’t even know me anymore. What a cruel trick our body can play on us! But, one day when all the pain is gone and you're flying above clouds of white...we'll play...oh yes we will!!!
