The I See You Series
I See You Living with the Relentless Reality of Dementia Caregiving
I see you when it’s not one big thing…
it’s a hundred small things that never seem to stop.
I see you answering the same question
again…
and then again.
I see you fixing something
you just fixed.
I see you watching a simple task
turn into confusion…
and stepping in without making a big deal of it.
I see you being the reminder,
the backup plan,
the steady presence
for things that used to just happen.
I see you carrying the mental list
that never fully clears.
Not dramatic.
Not visible.
Just relentless.
And still…
you keep showing up.
That kind of steady, unseen love?
I see you.
