Introduction It was a Sunday afternoon a few years ago as I sat on the edge of the bed, all around me there were signs of my last attempt that I was getting ‘ready’. I had downloaded three wellness apps in one afternoon. I had joined a gym where I lived 12 minutes away. He … Read more
Introduction My father always remembers everything. Birthdays, old family stories, right where he parked his car three weeks ago. So when he started forgetting the little things—a name in the middle of a sentence, did he tell me something? — I became more anxious than I expected. Nothing dramatic.
