He asked me when I fell in love with him and I knew it sounded dramatic to say the moment I saw him, so I told him this story of my grandma who had Alzheimer's- she forgot her name and the words for fruit and food, she forgot her address and how to use the washroom, all her life lost to the disease. The only thing she remembered was her son's name and when that began to fade, the one thing she always remembered was that she loved him, even in illness, even in insanity. She saw this 6 foot 2 man with a scrubby beard and she didn't know him but she said she trusted him, she asked him to hold her hand when she died. When does memory end and love begin? All I know is- she loved him before she remembered him.

Pasithea (Πασιθέα, meaning ‘relaxation’) was the goddess of relaxation, meditation, hallucinations and all other altered states of consciousness in Greek mythology. She was also one of the Charities (Graces) which were believed to be the daughters of Zeus (king of the gods). As a minor goddess, the only real tale where she shows up is in the story where Hypnos (god of sleep) decides to help put Hera (queen of the gods) to sleep so that Zeus can get up to one of his many schemes. As a reward for his services, he gave Pasithea his daughter, to Hypnos in an Olympian marriage. (Zuhair Murad Spring 2022 Haute Couture Collection)
