I’m sitting in Utah, at the computer, knowing when I finish my thoughts, I must 42 the phone. If not, the cycle of 43 will be started again. I hope she will be my mother again. I hope that there will be one day a (an) 44 for Alzheimer’s disease so that the next person sitting at the computer does not have to remember the good times past, but can live 45 .
