Digital Rememory:
"I Want To Go Home" 

 

An Analogy of Dementia Through the Lens of Digital Literature

"I'm ready to go home now"

​

(The room goes silent.)

 

"Can you take me home?"

​

"You are home..."

 

(Suspiciously looks around her living-room)

 

"I want to go home..."

​

"Look at the ceiling mom, whose ceiling is that? Who had the ceiling done?

​

"I don't know ..."

​

"You did. Whose picture is that next to you?

​

(Silence)

 

"That's Leslie mom, this is your house..."

​

(Fidgeting with her purse, eyes searching left to right, and a look of desperation on her face, like a child lost at a fair)

​

"OK, mom, I'll take you home, let's go..

​

"Alright..."

​

(20 minutes later after a drive around the neighborhood, re-entering the house)

​

"OK, mom, you're home, this is your home ok..."

​

"Oh, ok. Thank you"
