Movin On

Where do you go when your mind deserts you and your body is abandoned by flexibility?  Is it a friendly place where everything is fun and happy?  Is it a scary place where creepy things haunt you?  Is it an empty palate that you can make up as you go?   Who knows!

When the mind moves on to the outer limits, it’s the people left behind in the “real” world that is affected the most.  Seeing your loved one become completely different than you remember is a hard bone to swallow.  The confusion and far away, puzzled looks, repeated questions and childish behavior and discussions of times from long ago is the new world he’s gone to.  Is it a happy land  – hard to tell because there is very little communication these days.  There are polite greetings and curious looks; a little sob when hearing an old song; and a little kids smile when tasting a dessert. 

Where has my husband gone?  I believe he’s moved on and left me only the memory of who he used to be.
