Memory loss

Victor P. Gendrano

      My wife has been sick with kidney failure for almost ten years now and she has been undergoing hemodialysis treatment three times a week. I don't know if it were the side effects of the combination of medicine pills she has been taking, as she has other ailments too, but one day I got a scare of my life when she suffered a temporary loss of memory. She barely remembered me and she only recognized our grandchildren who were visiting when they were about to leave.

vague trees take forms

at the onset of dawn

she finally smiles
