"Mary at Christmas Time"

"Mary at Christmas Time" (c) 2010 Stu Jenks

This new image may or may not make it into the Dementia Blues book, for we are in the final design push, but we just might have to find room. Mary was trying to smile that day. Her voice is weaker now. Her mood varies, as it always does. She's seeing visions of Dad more. She may be getting ready to die, but it's a mystery.

The staff at Crossroads told me yesterday that Mary's fifth of Dewer's in the freezer is almost empty. Among my Christmas presents in my apartment, sits a brightly wrapped bottle of Pig's Nose Blended Scotch. A wee medicinal dram of scotch will do my mother a world of good, on Christmas Morn.
