I Can See Thoughts by Milagros Duarte

One day, it happened suddenly while we were dancing. I can see her thoughts!

Aww haha he’s looking at me like when we first met!

I can tell she’s happy.

But there was something in the back of her mind.

Help...

Honey, what’s wrong?

I don’t know what it is but I feel that I’m getting weaker.

We’ve got this.

With time, she was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s Disease.

Sigh

Every morning her thoughts are what wake me up.

It’s taking me forever just to get ready for the day.

I’m getting slower and slower at doing basic things.

I know it’s hard.

Don’t give up.

It’s so frustrating.

Thanks

Just by seeing her thoughts as she moves throughout the house, I feel that any day now she’ll lose her balance and fall.

WOAH!!!

Woah Woah

Woah Woah

The table broke her fall that day.

I’m terrified... What if you lose your balance?! What if you fall?!

Love, don’t worry. Remember what you told me. We got this.

With time, falls became frequent.

I’m so scared.

I’m so scared I’m going to fall again.

On the hard days we make sure to focus on love.

You’re the bravest person I know.

We’ve got this.

Thanks, Love. I really needed to hear that.

The hard days got even worse.

Her symptoms became severe and she now needs assistance walking.

It’s so hard to stay positive.

I feel like a burden.

Sigh

Honey, you matter to me.

Did you know that you help me get through each day?

We learned that we could be happy even when facing this situation.

One day she took a step for the last time and we didn’t know it.

Every morning for all of these years her thoughts are what wake me up. I can only describe it as the light and energy of my life.

It’s a new day.

Ohhh, what time is it?

Don’t forget: Focus on love.

Ohhh, what year are we in again? Haha.

I love you.

One day I woke up and I couldn’t see her thoughts anymore.

While I can’t see her thoughts anymore, I can still feel her love.
