like a child again

my retiree neighbours on the right side have always been really nice
we dun know each other very well
but if we meet each other outside our gates, small talk is always made
stuff like my elder sis, where we are studying now, what they are doing..
they are nice people to know:)

but recently [year plus], the wife has been dignosed with dementia
we saw her putting on weight and not be as active as in the past
but never realised it till the husband told my mom
and it was like "ok..rather sad lah"

and i never realised the reality/extent of it till today
they often park their car along the road opposite their house
and so..they have to cross the road to get to the house
today, the wife walked to the centre of the road and stopped suddenly
i believe she just couldnt remember what she was doing
because there was a blank look on her face and her eyes showed worry
she stood there till her daughter [in-law?] came to lead her back
the relief of "being rescued" was so evident on her face

i happened to watch it all from my car porch
was rather stunned by it
but really..she is just like a child again
