Raindrops keep falling on my head
Often when the sky drops her gentle tears on a morning like this,some images of the past surface before my eyes.
I always look across to the same old spot & wonder what would happen if those images are not just a figment of my imagination but real?
Recollection...Sometimes a drain of strength, as if tearing a small piece of you as you do so.
Yet oddly, these few days I find myself worrying (little) about suffering from Alzheimer when age conquers my body and health.
This is not something recent or sudden.
I always find myself forgetting little things like where my cup is, which cup was I using just a second ago? There are some small things here and there but sometimes the realization of forgetting just like that amazes me.
Amazement leaves me thinking for a while then worry settles in.
When we were young, we often wish for a certain part of our memories scrape off. It would perhaps erased us the pain, the scars and the tears.
But I couldn't imagine living one day without memories and without even remembering who I am, who I was and won't even know who will I be tomorrow.
I think that is scary. Still who am I to blame if that really happens one day? I can't predict and I can't control.
As I was telling Vonx, it's like the whole part of our lives are scripted. Who are we to blame? You have to forgive yourself to live on.
