A Wee Bit of Irish Green

It's hard to imaging how the mind can go blank over the years. A subtle deterioration. My dad had Alzheimer's and dementia and died without recognizing us. It was heartrewnding, so this little story hit home.

It's a special song to me. I had a nephew by that name. He was a young adult when he passed away. One of those kinds of people to whom others gravitated; a good heart, friendly and nice-looking. He made some bad choices in regard to his Diabetes, and in the end the disease won. Now I feel pain for his mother when that song plays, yet it is beautiful.

Re: Kabu

You had me sitting here wondering if diswas was the Australian word for diagosis or disease or something.  LOL

Beautiful story! Danny Boy is a special song in my family, too.

Amazing how music remains in memory long after so many facts have disappeared.
