Life's Memories

[a_contemplative_life]

Enjoyed reading this, esp. the description of the grandchildrens' interaction with Oskar. Some members of my extended family wound up with Alzheimers, so I have to say it was pretty sad to read about Oskar suffering from it, too. Reaching the end, I'm now intrigued to read further and see what will happen. How could Anton possibly track down the elusive Eli?

Yeah my great grandma had Alzheimer's, that where I got the idea from. I wasn't close to her, I was more affected by it through my grandpa who I am close to, and seeing him have to deal with it himself. It's kinda sad that the person with it is bothered the least by it. Most of the time they don't realize they don't realize they have forgotten so much, and it is then their loved ones who have to deal with the person they knew being pretty much gone.

WOW! Your opening chapter packs some very emotional punches. Well done!

OK. I checked out that "Loves Epitaph" Joint. It was good. This is the second and last part of "Life's Memories". It has an obvious similarity to "Loves Epitaph", but is a bit different. Naturally seeing this similarity I hope that my story is at least of comparable quality in the eyes of the reader. Here it is:

Nicro this story is very well written and moving. I enjoyed it tremendously. You can't help but wonder about the when, where and hows but then you realize, that's not the point. This is a very realistic and tragic conception of the story in its' context. Nicely done.

Yes, very strong stuff. To judge by its effect on me and others, you must have paid the price of writing it.

Sooooo sad! Good story, but so very very sad. My eyes are all wet!

Beautifully done. I had a lump in my throat as Eli let the connection with her past and link to the future blow away in the wind, leaving her...completely alone.

I have to add that the 'point' of it all hits you at the very end like an emotional sledgehammer. This got me all choked up. Again, kudos for an exceptional story.

OMFG

Is this Eli walking away from his humanity because it hurts too much?

Very well done and an emotional sledge hammer.

Blurry vision made me stop a couple of times.
