This is the only way she has, of protesting, as she’d, lost her ability to speak!!!
Her silent protests, they seemed to be more and more frequent now these days, compared to before, and it’s not like, we weren’t, trying, to make her happy, it’s just, that she can no longer, articulate clearly, what she needs from us anymore.
like this, except it wasn’t done voluntarily…not my drawing…
Her silent protests, it’s the only way she felt she’s still in control, of her deteriorating mind. So, she’d, exercised, her own rights, to “remain silent, any and everything she says, will be blah-blah-blah!”. Her silent protests, this, is still ongoing, whenever her children visited her at home, she’d turned her face away, to let them know that she’s not happy, and, her loved ones would have to, guess at what was really wrong with her, and, from time to time, they’d, guessed it right, and that, is when you see her eyes light up, but most of the times, they’d, guessed wrong………
Her silent protests, that, is her way of showing them, that she’s, displeased at the current condition of her own life, and yet, the less she’d spoken, the less she’d, remembered how to speak, until one day, she’d, become, completely, SILENCED!
