My mum died suddenly on September 4th, 2006.

After she died, I realized how much she’d been shielding me from my father’s mental state.

He doesn’t have alzheimers, but he has no short-term memory, and is often lost.

I took him to the funeral, but when we got home, he kept asking me where my mother was.  I had to explain over and aover again that she had died.

This was shocking news to him.

Why had no-one told him?
Why hadn’t I taken him to the funeral?
Why hadn’t he visited her in the hospital?

He had no memory of these events.

After a while, I realized that I couldn’t keep telling him that his wife had died.  He didn’t remember, and it was killing both of us, to constantly relive her death.

I decided to tell him she’d gone to Paris, to take care of her brother, who was sick.

And that’s where she is now.

This is a journal.

An ongoing record of my father, and of our relationship.

For whatever days we have left together.
