Forgetting

I notice how we are both being diminished. It isn’t just him. We are both forgetting things. I work hard at remembering, writing copious notes, or holding information in head, repeating it silently until the act of whatever it is I was trying to recall is done. I get cross when he forgets things, like the key in the door last night, and then I am sorry. Help me to be kinder, more tolerant and patient with him.
