By Sherri Levine, Oregon, USA “I love you,” I’d say to my mother every night after our walks around the neighborhood. “I know you do,” she’d say, bundled in turquoise fleece which smelled like roses. She would always wait at the top of the street for me to get to my house and wave goodnight. I’d bought a house right around the corner from her townhouse to be near her. It was autumn in Portland, Oregon, rainy and cool when she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
