RE: From forgetfulness to reality- TheInkwell Creative NonfictionPrompt#67

This is an inspiring story, @rammargarita. Your methodology is clear and seems to make sense. One can never know exactly what happened to your mother to make her lose her memory. She obviously had an episode of some kind. Instead of accepting this hard situation, you decided to help. Your approach seems to be very much the same as would be the approach of a physical or speech therapist. Use the muscles. Practice.

Your perspective obviously was that your mother's presence in your home was a gift. You wanted her to have the best quality of life possible. That would never have happened, probably, if you had turned her over to an institution or had not invested your time, effort and intelligence in her care.

This not only reads well, but also can be quite instructive to others who find themselves taking care of a loved one. Thank you for sharing this experience with us, @rammargarita. Your CNF piece was a pleasure to read.
