It came as a great shock when I
learnt that I too had that terrible disease. The latest memories are the first
to fade but the earliest, the very earliest memories - they’re the last to
vanish. And when I thought about this, I decided this was how it should be.
Because the news is so awful these days, and the world has become a scary
place. Best not to think about it. Whereas my earliest memories are of happier
days, so it’s good that they should stay for as long as… as long as… And my
house is full of nice things: photographs and old postcards, which help me to
remember the happy times. I can’t wait to get back home, surrounded by the
familiar, looking at bric-a-brac, and remembering how they arrived into my
world of things. If only… If only I could remember… where I live.
