Unforgettable (China, Feb 2024) by @yanran.xiong
“Grandma has drifted in Alzheimer’s haze for years.
She once hid money in her underwear, cursing anyone who tried to take it.
Unfamiliar places made her afraid; some nights, she tried to escape.
But always, she carried sunflower seeds to share,
and memories of dancing and singing—her youth shining through.
She no longer knows our names, yet greets each day with a radiant smile,
at peace in a world that forgets, but never dims her light.
I want to capture these precious moments because I don’t know how many there still are.”
