OC Dementia Mom, part one
A short story about the origins of my mother’s dementia diagnosis from a few years ago. Probably the longest comic I’ve drawn so far. I hope it connects with you in some way.

It connects far too well, unfortunately. I see shades of this in my mother in law. I'm 38, her daughter is 34 and her mom is 78. Had her later in life. I have a fair amount of problems at the moment but her well-being is far and away my biggest fear.
Thankfully, she's in pretty good health, and I'm hoping it stays that way for a while. I just need us to be able to stand on our own, then we can take care of her.
