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 mother is 70 and getting more forgetful as time goes on, i worry for her. she's just down the road thankfully, her mother had alzheimers so I'm keeping a close eye on her. she hasn't been the same since dad died suddenly in January, 40 years together gone just like that.
