Dementia Life

    Today

Every day I strive to keep up the happy facade…

Today, it was a struggle I lost…

Every day I keep busy so that I have no time to dwell…

Today I realized that the scales are shifting, as

Every day more of “our” things get stacked onto my pile

Today, I had nothing left in me to handle my own pile

Every day, I confidently say “I can do this!”

But today, doubt crept in

Every day I convince myself that I can just LOVE him enough to keep this demon at bay

Today, the demon drew first blood. And I am shaken.
