Please help me understand what’s happening to me before we tell you.
With love,
Grandma.
I read that letter three times.
Then I remembered something.
Two months earlier, my mother had forgotten my birthday.
I was angry with her.
I had said:
âMom, youâre getting more and more clueless. You used to remember everything.
She apologized again and again.
I hadn’t understood how scared she was already.
âWhy did you scream tonight?â I asked Daniel.
He swallowed saliva.
He found an envelope with old family photographs. I opened it because he asked me to look for a picture of Grandpa. But when she saw a picture of you as a child, she couldn’t remember who you were.
He paused.
âHe thought someone had taken his daughter.
Suddenly, my mother started crying again.
