Burt just asked one of our neighbors if he knew about his dementia.
Of course he did. Burt said, “It’s the worst.” Our kind neighbor said,”Yes.”
Recently, I wondered what Burt’s understanding of his disease actually means. I guess I am trying to fathom how deeply he comprehends that he has a brain disease.
His shares intimate that he knows it’s progressive. He has said things like “when the brain goes, that’s it.”How must he feel with this hanging over him?
this is our life 
I can hear him and visualize his gestures and expression as he made that declaration.
