It’s not remembering how to braid your hair while looking at yourself in the mirror, and not realizing that when it is snowing outside, it means it’s winter. It’s looking at your husband but seeing a stranger. It’s forgetting how to speak, but weirdly remembering the lyrics to a song you knew decades ago. It’s shattered souls and broken hearts and sniffles hidden behind smiles.

this is devastating.

Alzheimer’s isn’t a cute disease. It isn’t only forgetting about your first elementary school crush’s name or the place you visited with your parents when you were five or the meal you ate for dinner yesterday. It’s agitation and aggressiveness and bursts of sadness that break the hearts of everyone around you.

In this moment, I realize if there was one thing I could wish for, it would be to live in a world where time stands still. Where Aaron and I could keep living without growing old, our bodies stuck in this place in time. This way, nothing would stop me from begging him to stay with me. I wouldn’t ever get sick. He’d never have to say goodbye. We could just be, together.
