Forgot how or just tired

 And so, she says

"You need to come home, the hot water wont turn off"


And i ask "Does the knob just keep on spinning or does it stop"


Her reply "No it just keeps on spinning"


Then a few minutes later..... "Nvm danny turned it off.. it was the cold water"


Funny how this funny exchange, is not funny, when the woman has dimentia.


For her it is fear, and loneliness, deep sorrow, mixed with bits of anger for the unfairness of life.


For me, it is stuffed emotions, breath held, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
