Over the last several years I’ve enjoyed writing posts for McKnight’s. I’ve never felt it appropriate to use my blog to talk about It’s Never 2 Late, however, if they’ll indulge me, I’ll use this vehicle to talk about our new driving game! (get it?!). It’s all about re-living the experience of getting behind the wheel of your favorite automobile and the memories that conjures up in our minds.
A driving game. It’s not that big of a deal. Or is it? I can’t tell if it’s because I’m getting older and I’m becoming comfortably aware of my own mortality. But, I find myself noticing things through a different lens than I used to. As my dementia gurus have taught me, the disease is a place where incrementally things are taken away from people, and clearly giving up the keys is a huge loss. I used to think about how if must feel for “them.” Now I wonder how it will feel for “me”.
