"My memory. I don't wanna lose my memory. Oh, my memory..." Was the first statement that proceeded out of the mouth of Sir Alex Ferguson, the most decorated former Manchester United manager following a syncope attack in his home. He would later be told that he has had a brain bleed. Good God, he survived only with a scar from an emergency surgery.
It is interesting to see that of all the possessions the 80-year-old man might have accrued over the years, his memory mattered most to him. Truly, the meaning of life is only appreciated when memory is spared.
I have seen well-meaning individuals who led successful lives at the mercy of their family members or caregivers simply because they have lost their ability to carry activities of daily living to dementia.
Today is not to talk about dementia-or its commonest subtype; Alzheimer's disease (I possibly might talk about it in my next post)-but to share a bit of my 2021 memory with y'all in the form of pictures. It has been said and proven by many (well, at least by me😁) that "a picture is worth more than a thousand words".
Are y'all prepared for a ride into how my 2021 was? Come let's dive right in.
