I know, you know?

Aunt Maisie knows, even though she has Alzheimer’s. It’s so bad she thinks her name is Alzheimer’s. She knows this, she says. “That much I know,” she says.And she cries in fear because of it. Sometimes knowing your name is a scary as forgetting it, we tell her. We comfort her, like a little girl on the first day of school.
