Hear and attend and listen; for this befell and behappened and became and was, O my Best Beloved, when the Tame animals were wild. The Dog was wild, and the Horse was wild, and the Cow was wild… . But the wildest of all the wild animals was the Cat. He walked by himself, and all places were alike to him.
Jennie, it’s been an enlightening experience to read your weekly stories. It has heightened my awareness of the process you and your family are living as you care for your dad, as well as providing richness with your referenced material, side stories, and humor. I have learned about the effects of dementia on the entire family during the individual’s decline. I’m so glad you found your writing voice again and I look forward to what new writing awaits you!
Thank you for your insights, vulnerability and beautiful writing. I'll be sad to read your last "Mr D's Wild Ride", but hope to follow your next "art" endeavor . . . and to see you be "discovered" by Oprah!
I cannot express my gratitude to you enough for your inspirational words and stories. I am thankful for the brief time I had to visit your world. The technical information you provided is invaluable to me on my own journey with a parent. Thank you. And please, keep writing!
What a wonderful introduction to Charlie! And yes, every dementia patient/ person is different/individual but I find I’m still sharing my experiences with my husband's dementia 12 years after he's died… thank you for sharing yours… and what a wonderful writer you are.
