impassioned fury, at that ill-fate
of destiny\'s despairingly, demoralising injustice
should never be mistaken
for that \'self-loathing harbouring: anger,
of modern societies, pitifully senile fool\'s..\'
see, when you\'ve given everything
to that one thing, you hoped, prayed, wished
and sacrificed, to keep - \'whole\'
for as long as you draw breath, then you\'re entitled
to vent and express, your raw - suffering
in worded fury;
its a human, tool for survival - to insure
we don\'t all end-up, like \'those loathsome few
who would rather see the world burn and give-in\'
than find that self-worth from within
and do the work, the rest of us
grudgingly, embrace
as our hope fuelled - fight, to survive
and imbue meaning: in this - our one, and only
taste of a short-lived, existence...!
really liked that raw emotionality
you conveyed in this write, Andy
let it all out!
\'only then will you have that space
to realise and cherish
that subtle, embrace - when next
\'She\': comes to visit\'

That’s more like it, Andy. No more of your sweetness and light memories – reality impinges. Better the anger - that’s reality.
I’ve seen quite a number of early onset dementia folks (can occur as early as the ‘40’s) - so consider yourself lucky you had so long with Joyce.
Not particularly helpful to you –but it does make me realize that there is nothing of me (no spirit, identity beyond this mortal coil) which exists after I cark it.
Enjoyed your anger - it makes a change.

So sad Andy. I have seen some of dementia\'s evil and respect your first hand knowledge.
Let us hope, as always, for new discoveries in preventing this and other afflictions which haunt our approaching years.

No, No, No! We are not as old as we think, or feel. We are as old as we are.
How we feel or think are completely separate.
I was at the Doctor\'s the other day, minor problem, when this gentleman walks in looking fit as a fiddle. Thought he was 50 ish maybe 60. Fills out the necessary paper work, and then gets called to the desk; \" Sorry Sir, you wrote your birth year as \'22, this is only \'21......\"
Well, I wasn\'t born this year, that\'s 1922.\" \" Oh, so sorry, Wow!\" I think he got the lucky draw in the gene lottery.
It\'s just best to grow old gracefully. - Phil A.

Andy - I\'m not sure I had a graceful youth; not sure I have wisdom in old age. But beyond that message I can join the general celebrations \'cos I\'m glad to still be here for sure - perhaps wisdom will come one day......

Michael Edwards said:
i share your sentiments. i was looking at a weed much vilified by gardeners - it smothered a hedgerow with its pure white flowers lighting up the track - the humble Greater Bindweed - yet not so humble. Sorry I\'ve gone a tad off piste but I was so taken with the beauty of it.
