an old woman, with Alzheimer's , in her dying bed:
"right now brother, i almost forgot everything... moments from now... maybe, i would not recall you like the others... the only things that i could remember are the 'our father, the hail mary, and the glory be' the first prayers that were taught to me when I was still so young...' I call everyone Jesus or Mary because those are the sweetest names I could hardly forget."
I asked her, "why?"
she told me, "maybe, they're not in my mind... maybe, they're in my heart." denmar
