Depth Perception

It is touching, heartbreaking, and full of love, acceptance, and hope. Kenny is a sweet guy who does right by his mom as dementia takes its heartless toll.

It is a beautiful story not to be missed.

It's no coincidence that my 100th, celebratory, Review at GA goes to @kbois' story! ❤

@kbois deals with dementia, illness and death in this story. In her unique way, she explores how every family member cope with pain and face the awareness of inevitable loss.

Above all, this story is deep, emotional farewell. Farewell devoid of any pathos but colored with lots of love, some sadness, anger and little bit of humor. 

Peggy left such beautiful legacy, amazing foundations in her family that her funeral becomes a celebration of her life - life that was worth of living.   

Thank you @kbois! Thank you for making this farewell, even for us who couldn't do it! ❤

A wonderful story that explores the losing of a parent to dementia.

We see the family dynamics explored as they deal with there Mum's condition.

A great read.

It is never easy to lose a parent.

In this short story, @kbois explores what losing your last parent to dementia might be like. Like many families, there is a bit of dysfunction amongst the adult children. It provides a backdrop for interpersonal relationships that can either be made whole or utterly destroyed.

A beautiful and sorrowful slice of life, dealing with loss and saying goodbye.  I’d call it a "coming of middle age” story, focused on a part of life we often leave untold.  

Thank you for sharing this tale.

Much love!

A well-crafted story about a very difficult situation - having to watch a parent as their mind is slowly engulfed by dementia.  This is a very touching view as to how the various members of the family deal with the situation and how it affects each of them differently.  If you're looking for a moving and sensitively written story, then I urge you to check this one out.  You won't regret it. 

This was a very touching tribute and a reflection of grief that anyone who's ever cared for someone at their lowest, or lost someone in some way, can relate.

Yet another story that took the theme "In Too Deep" and ran with it. From the very title of Depth Perception down to the 5,555 exact word count. (Why has no one mentioned that magical word count?) This story will suck you right into the complexity of familial relationships, the various ways we (as humans) grieve, and the many bonds one creates over the years. I cried, I laughed, and then I wept some more. This was a beautiful and bittersweet read that resonated deeply with me.
