remembering.

i hadn’t heard from jim in a few days since i got back from new orleans. i wanted to check to make sure the dog wasn’t annoying for him. i talked to him on AOL messenger at work and a lot of it wasn’t making sense so i ended up just calling him. he didn’t remember watching my dog, the fact that he had keys to my apartment, or even where i lived. i can’t even begin to imagine the frustrations he has to deal with. i picked him up, this time at south station after work. seems like he had a seizure that took a lot away from him in terms of memory. a bit of me thought he may have forgotten who i was. turns out he knows some things and forgets others. doesn’t matter, he is amazing. i very much adore him. hanging out with him is like having a good dream or reading a good book. the seizures seem to put him in a lot of pain. i don’t think anyone should have to be tangled up in this. the system is fucking him over. denying him benefits. makes me really angry that there is a system that fails and still exists. . . . sigh….
