WHY WRITE THIS STORY?

I thought I would write this story for a number of different reasons. Firstly I have tried to demonstrate a dementia journey. Like so many others, I didn’t realise what was going on with my loved one until we were so far advanced that we hit crisis mode. I suppose looking back that I continually made excuses for behaviour and with hindsight, I can’t believe I was so blind.
I have tried to set out in this story, some of the tell tail signs in an effort to make the unsuspecting, more aware.

Secondly, I read an article about a dreadful man and it occurred to me, that every awful, evil person, has decedents who are reasonable, rational and kind and if their ancestor has been truly bad, then how do they cope with this?

Thirdly, when I pick up a story book, I love to learn about new places and people and I find it a real joy to discover things that I didn’t know before, therefore I have tried to encompass this within the story and perhaps entice the reader to learn more about South America and Argentina and who knows, even visit this fantastic country.

All of the characters within this story are fictional, though I confess to borrowing some trails from those I have known in an effort to make these characters more believable.
