SOMETIMES IT'S BEST NOT TO REMEMBER

she didn't recognize us
the last time we came for a visit
and I decided
that would be the last time I would see her
I no longer wanted to live with the pain
of being forgotten
all those years erased
from the cruel simplicity of being born with bad genes
she was the lucky one,
having no memory
while I was stuck remembering all of it

It is so sad when dementia or Alzheimer's sets in. This line is so relatable to those who have experienced the loss of a loved one's memory. Great piece! -
That's a decision we each have to make for ourselves and you're damn strong for doing what's best for yourself.
