Pensamiento de una hija y cuidadora

I lay here listening to what she is saying….

she is talking in circles , a bit like praying… 
She fights the dark and that it’s night… 
… I wish I had the power to make all of this right… 
She is worried about her sister and where shes at… 
If only i could convince her that her sister is fine and tomorrow they’ll chat … 
This disease is cruel, it breaks her mind, what a blow… 
Alzheimers robs you of your mom before you know.. 
She is scared and thats what hurts me so… 
I try to hold her and let her know… 
That tomorrow we will find who it is you choose…
tomorrow I will fight this battle that eventually we will loose… 
My sweet mom comes and goes… 
I know this is the life she never chose…»
