Today we present two pieces written and read by Jane Goodman: “Apple, Table, Penny” and “Telling.”
Early in the illness, sometimes it was just a matter of him using an odd word, but you could still make out his meaning. In the car, going to pick up my nephew from football practice. Dad was at the wheel, still driving then. “The picture is golden” he said. Hmm. It was a beautiful day. That must be what he meant. “Yes,” I replied. “It is.” I didn’t point out the mistake. “The picture is golden” has stayed with me, a small sign of what was beginning to happen in his brain. Poetic in its own way.
