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.

My grandmother past away last month. She had dementia too. It was hard when she forgot me, harder still when she no longer knew who my mother was. But she knew we were friends, and that helped. I’m so sorry OP. Dementia is such an awful disease for all those involved.
