ベン・フェルドマンさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ベン・フェルドマンInstagram)「The strange thing about loving someone with dementia, for me, is that you can spend years burying the old memories, when they were “them” because you’re so focused on the new ones. The ones you don’t recognize. The ugly ones that don’t make sense. And so when they finally go, there’s almost a rebirth. A sudden flood of good times that you thought had been pushed out of your mind to make way for the bad ones. It’s bittersweet. Your mind, reorganizing for you when you can’t. A mind should be protected. • Last call was years ago but mom stuck around til the lights came on & this Tuesday, she finally called it a night. Tomorrow is my birthday (zero doubt she finds that hilarious) and if you’re feeling generous, consider making a donation to one of the charities I’ve tagged here. Fighting Alzheimer’s is the only gift I want this year. There’s still no cure. Alzheimer’s is cruel. Alzheimer’s is unforgiving. Alzheimer’s is a thief. It stole every memory my mom had. But I won’t let it steal mine. ………. • us • the last page of her memoir, written after she left France to spend her last years with me • Alz walk • @wearehfc gala • Paris, just before she moved back / her smile, forever on my daughters face」5月27日 1時01分
