He died. He has been dead a week and we hadn't been told.

We knew him before he had Alzheimer's when he was a courteous, humorous old gentleman and then afterwards when he had very little of himself left and was sometimes tetchy and sometimes sweet. The last time we saw him we took him carrot cake. He was very fond of cake.

I spoke to Keith. I asked him how he was doing. "I don't know," he said.

Thanks.

It came as a surprise.

But it was his time. He'd turned 90. And I wouldn't wish anyone a long spell of Altzheimers.
