    Who are they? (Dementia)

    You were someone. But who? You could remember small things. Pretty dresses in a closet. How the soft material felt around your fingers. Who’s dresses?

    Music swaying across a house. Who’s house? A man dancing. He smells familiar. He smells like home. Where is home? What is home? Where are you?

    A familiar tune plays in the hospital. You can’t put your finger on the name. It sounds nice.

    Someone is holding your hand. White hair and dark eyes. Like a swan. You liked swans. You always saw them- where?

    The person spoke. Soft soothing words. “Good morning ###. How are you today? Did the nurses take good care of you?”

    You liked the sound. The words he said so familiar yet not the same.
