This is wonderfully written and heartbreakingly sad. Dementia is such a hard subject, and you've captured the difficult emotions of it so well.

Thank you, Claire. And, thank you for subscribing! It is a sad, difficult subject. Many are dealing with hard decisions in our neighborhood.

This is absolutely beautiful and heart wrenching at the same time, Jenise. I’m so happy to be reading your work again!

And thank you so much for the shoutout! Hopefully we can continue to build the fiction community here on Substack. 😊

Wow, Justin! Thank you for your kind words about reading my works again. Your encouragement continues from a few years ago, when you started promoting 50-word stories. You're the reason I write them!

Yes, it is a hard journey for those who walk the path reflected in "A New Place". Thank you for commenting!
