âHeâs a good boy,â he whispered.
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
âBut you called me! You begged me not to leave you alone with him!
My mother lowered her head.
I donât remember.
Those three words changed everything.
Daniel sat in the hallway and covered his face with his hands.
âMom,â he said quietly, âgrandma is having serious memory problems.
I was paralyzed.
What?
Three weeks ago he called me at midnight. He told me Grandpa was in the kitchen, asking him to make breakfast.
I looked at it without saying anything.
âShe knew Grandpa was dead, but she could see it. I was crying and I was very scared.
Daniel explained that he had taken his grandmother to the doctor after finding her one night walking down the street in slippers, asking the neighbors where her husband had gone.
