Ruth Ozeki Quote
Later on, I asked her [her mother], How does it feel?What?When you can't remember things. Does it frighten you? Do you feel sad?Well, not really. I have this condition, you see. It's called osteo...ost...You mean Alzheimer's? I said, helping her out.She looked astonished. Yes! How on earth did you know that?Just a guess...I can never remember the name, she explained.Of course not.It affects my memory......And that's why you can't remember?She frowned and shook her head. Remember what?There's not a single thing I can do about it, she told me when I reminded her. If there was something I could do and wasn't doing it, then I could feel sad or depressed. But as it is... She shrugged.So you're okay with it?She looked at me, patiently. I don't have much choice, she explained. So I may as well be happy.
