Oh man that hit hard. Reminded me of when my grandfather died since he had dimentia.(can't spell it) hurt my heart like no other. When I read that last bit.... Had the same reaction for a minute. Well done writing even if it hurt to read.
The way this was written was beautifully tragic it literally brought tears to my eyes. This novel is really one of the best I have ever read. Thank you for this chapter, author. You know how exactly how to evoke emotions through text.
