Thank you for this post. Dementia runs deep in my bloodline—three generations of men in my family have faded from view: my great-grandfather, my grandfather, and my father. But I refuse to go quietly into that dark night.

Three generations lost to silence.

So I picked up a pen—and started swinging.

They forgot.

I won’t.

I can’t prove it with science, but I believe it with everything in me: writing is my sword. It’s been both rebellion and release—especially as I write my memoir about growing up wild and full-speed stupid in a town that no longer exists.

Thank you for keeping this conversation alive. Every voice matters.
