Last Wednesday night, at approximately 7:00 PM, my grandmother lost her mind. This isn&#8217;t news, really; she&#8217;s been losing it, on and off, since she was first diagnosed with dementia a few years back. But this time it was on my watch, at the kitchen table where I used to munch on homemade granola while [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went grocery shopping with my grandmother and her caregiver today. As we were unloading bags from the car, I was struck with this sudden memory, a full on flashback of the time Brian and I visited grandma back in 2003, when we first moved to the West Coast.
I guess grandma must have been about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The last few nights, I&#8217;ve been spooked at bedtime, reluctant to sleep in my darkened room. I&#8217;ve been leaving the bedside lamp on. It bothers me and makes it hard to fall asleep, but without it I start to imagine all sorts of things, like torsos, headless and legless, crawling up onto the bed, or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My grandmother&#8217;s always losing things. The first day I was back up here, it was her glasses; she and I were getting ready for a walk, and she materialized beside me in a pair of huge, circa nineteen-seventy-two frames. &#8220;My prescription needs changing,&#8221; she said. &#8220;These are good for now.&#8221;
&#8220;Ok,&#8221; I said, and we went [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m at the airport, killing time before my flight home, which has been delayed two and a half hours. You&#8217;d think that would be a good time to catch up on work or personal writing, but instead it&#8217;s mostly been spent trolling airport gift shops, fondling the smoked salmon and books of Northwest Coast art.

My grandparents (and my grandfather&#8217;s reflection) at their wedding.
Grandma, my dad and I found this in an album last night, after Grandma&#8217;s birthday dinner.
&#8220;You look so young!&#8221; I said. &#8220;How old were you?&#8221;
&#8220;Twenty five?&#8221; said grandma.
&#8220;That is young.&#8221;
&#8220;Twenty four? Twenty three? Twenty two?&#8221;
We all laughed. &#8220;Young!&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s 8:31, and Grandma should&#8217;ve been up about a half an hour ago (no reason, really. She just set her alarm for 8 AM last night when I was putting her to bed). About a minute ago, I heard her stirring upstairs, so I went up, glass of water in hand, to help her get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So there&#8217;s this urban legend I heard once, about this woman who&#8217;s in an ice cream shop when she notices Jack Nicholson is standing next to her. She plays it cool, completes the ice-cream-for-money exchange, and heads outside &#8212; only to discover that she no longer has her ice cream with her. As she&#8217;s standing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My grandmother and my aunt Carol, hiding behind the rhubarb leaves
One thing I always do when visiting my grandparents is pore through all the family albums. It&#8217;s just a more elaborate kind of narcissism, I suppose, but I&#8217;ve always been somewhat soothed by looking at these sort of reflections out into the past.
It seems to [...]]]></description>
