First, that it would happen to almost everyone who managed to avoid car wrecks, disease or falls! Second, it's not a big thing if old people would reach out to embrace it and realize that it was okay for them to forget stuff, have everyone around them become mindful that they were growing old in what might be construed as condescending ways and they, themselves, would laugh at their own antics. So what if I can't remember what day it is or what happened five years ago at this time, or whether some professor is dead or whether the fact that my back hurts is normal for me. Hey, I have to make the use of every day now!
By the way, I can remember a lot more than I think I can. It just takes a little longer. And I have learned to fake it much better until I remember. I am so grateful for the memory I have. Is today Friday?
