Recently, a reader asked me what my motivation is to write this blog. I can sum it up in one word.
Fear.
As we all get older, many people encounter cognitive and mental acuity issues, dementia and more. So, being in control of my mental faculties, at least for the moment, this blog addresses my fears of losing that control at some point. You see…I remember absolutely everything about Annie, so I put these memories down in writing, just in case the day comes when I cannot remember.
I remember everything…
Her laugh
Her beauty
Her fashion
Her strengths
Her weaknesses and vulnerabilities
Her desire to be accepted and loved and her fear of not being accepted and loved
Her smell
Her taste
Every single inch of her body
How she looks when she is sleeping
Her ability to communicate with me through simple glances
The list is endless right now and my fear is that the memory list may get shorter as I get older.
So…I write…
Surprises in The Road of Life
