Agnes was sitting in one of the living room’s corners, teary-eyed. Everyone had left after discussing Clara’s wedding—during which Agnes stated her intention not to attend, despite her desire to do so—and she now regretted why she said that.

Agnes was 75 years old when her beloved husband Edward died. Soon after, her health began to fail, and she relocated to New York to live with her son’s family. They were initially very loving and caring, but when Agnes was diagnosed with dementia, things began to change.
