Name;
Lewy Body Disease.
It's also called Lewy Body
Dementia, but the "D"
Word still frightens
Me, so I prefer to say
"Disease."
Few people know it
Even exists,
Though it is quite
Common.
Now, an incident that
Occurred years
Ago makes sense.
One night,
Snuggled in bed,
Jack socked me.
When I shook him
Awake,
He was distraught and
Apologetic.
"It was a violent dream,"
He said.
I've learned that those
Night time outbursts
Are an early sign of the
Disease.
I'm so very grateful
I didn't know.
