               I Wonder.......

                                                                                           ©Cheryl Stevenson Nov. 2011

I wonder what my life would be like if I didn't have a memory impairment.

I wonder if I'll live long enough to know & enjoy my grandchildren.

I wonder if my children are proud of who I am.

I wonder what details of today I will still remember tomorrow.

I wonder what friends & family will continue on this journey with me.

I wonder if there will ever be a cure for Alzheimer's and other dementia.

I wonder why I'm only able to write poems about memory impairments.

I wonder how many more people I can help by touching them with my story.

I wonder how well I would be doing if I didn't have a strong faith!

I wonder what tomorrow will bring.

I wonder how long I'll have before the fog rolls in again.

I wonder what my future holds.

I wonder how long I'm going to be able to function as well as I am.

I wonder who will take care of me, when I need help.

I wonder how many more lives will be lost until a cure is found.

I wonder when the world will be a welcoming place where patients are

comfortable talking about their disease.

I wonder if I'll ever know my correct diagnosis.
