Sarah sat in her favorite chair, staring blankly at the family photos on the mantelpiece. Her husband, James, noticed her distant gaze and gently touched her shoulder to get her attention. “Are you all right, sweetheart?” he asked, with concern in his voice.
She turned to James with a faint smile, her eyes showing a hint of confusion. “I’m fine, just a bit tired,” she replied. The growing frequency of these lapses weighed heavily on her mind. Deep down, she knew something wasn’t right, but the fear of what it might mean kept her silent. Read More
