Me: Ants, you won’t believe it!
Anthony: Try me.
Me: It’s a bit of a long story and I don’t know where to start and I am so excited!
Anthony: Jules?
Me: What?
Anthony: I have all the time in the world.
Me: Well I got short-listed for a group that got to talk to film industry professionals and tomorrow I get to pitch my idea about how I coped with the dementia stuff.
Anthony: What dementia stuff?
Me: Whoops! Okay, well your dementia stuff. Okay so now that you’re in heaven or wherever the hell you are, do you remember having dementia?
Anthony: What a lot of rubbish, Jules. Of course I didn’t have dementia.
Me: Yes, you did actually.
Anthony: No, I didn’t.
Me: You just didn’t know you had it and I never told you.
Anthony: You really are a whimsical creature aren’t you, Jules.
How beautiful that you get to remember, reinvent and recreate Anthony in all his beautiful glory before his disease stripped him down – dementia has taken a backseat. This is perhaps the most healing aspect of your imagined conversations!
So many memories, you both knew each other so well, or that is my impression. Good to hear that you are negotiating with the film people.
Hope the powers that you pitch to take up your idea, very exciting!
This made me smile
