memory

The woman stared at the face for what seemed like an eternity
She looks old thought the woman
She has pretty eyes
Nice long eyelashes and good eyebrows
A bit of make-up and this woman will be smashing
She has a lot of potential

The girl holding the mirror for the woman
Was the woman's daughter

It broke her heart that her mother didn't recognize her own reflection in the mirror
They said Alzheimer's would be bad
This was a nightmare
Every day seemed to be worse
Today was the hardest
Her mother didn't even recognize her own reflection.
her heart was broken.
