Is anyone there...

Dad doesn't know when or who's been to visit. I know Mom was there the day before, but he doesn't remember. What is going on in his mind? He sits and looks, soon to fall asleep. He doesn't speak. If he does, it's only on word here and there. Perhaps you'll get a "yes". Perhaps he'll tell you he wants to go home. This is reality. This is his life. This is Mom's life too. What happened to the big trip. What happened to the retirement life. It will never be.
