It’s a strange thing having your brain disappear.

Amy has encouraged me to write about it.

I’m not sure I can.

I was crying on the phone with my parents the other day, talking about how my grandfather started showing signs of Alzheimer’s at 56 (my age).

It’s emotionally complex and I’m not sure how to handle it.

But it’s happening.

I watched it in my grandfather, I know it’s happening to me.

And my 77-year old mother is going to be here in a couple of days after making a 30-hour flight half-way around the world to see her sick son.
