She still knew me, but not what day it was or what time it was. She forgot where the bedrooms and bathrooms were in the house.

We went to the Date Shake Shack. We had made hundreds of trips there over the years, but now she didn't know where she was.

The unfinished painting
We found this unfinished painting among her unused canvases. It will never be finished, but I will hang it on my wall, it's of me.
