ROOM 6 Willow

The Dementia Stories

ROOM   7    Willow
*
*
Willow sat in the chair that was next to the T.V.  He was emaciated.  He looked like an old balloon that had been blown up and after a time had deflated.  He just sat there quietly.  "I don't know where I am," he said.
*
He said this again to a caregiver as she walked into the room.
*
"I know where you are," she said matter of factly.  "I know who you are and where you are.  You are safe.  I am taking care of you.  And I love you."
*
He looked tired, defeated and resigned.
*
"I don't know where I am."
