memories, part 3

Susie Lamplugh's mother, Diana, worked energetically and creatively to campaign for greater 'personal safety' in the work place after her daughter was abducted two decades ago.

She suffered a massive stroke in March, and as a result has experienced an almost complete loss of memory.

Her husband Paul spoke movingly on Woman's Hour on Radio 4 about how he visits her every day to take her to the local cafe where he buys her a small bowl of ice-cream, a favourite before the stroke. She doesn't know who he is, but theirs is still a loving relationship, he said.

Bri,

Thank you for your trilogy of posts on memories. Powerful. Caused me to consider the way memories are compelling and fundamental to our identity. Memories connect us.

I have often thought that your choice of image to accompany the text within your posts is moving. The Mist image seems to reflect in a significant and poignant way the relationship that Paul Lamplugh has with Diana, his wife, following her stroke.
