if he cannot recall his own past,
relations, stories
if he forgets where he lives,
the year, the president’s name
if all that disappears,
those are his losses

if I am not remembered as wife,
as friend, as the one who cares
who plans, who cleans
if he can’t recall my name,
my special place beside him,
then I am erased too

In the strange way of life, I’ve learned and am still learning about myself through this experience of caregiving. It can be a harsh mirror. Thank you, Judith.
