Dear Phobos,
I felt you trickle down my spine like the first heat wave of the summer sun’s rays.
The same warmth that kissed my pale flesh in the morning glow in every year since my birth.
I sensed your lingering touch like that of my mother’s lips against my brow, as she checks to see the rhythm of my chest.
I taste your sweet wonders with every bite of ripe fruit, decadent chocolate.
I see you my wife’s eyes every night before we fall asleep. Her soft voice, a siren’s call to my dreams, luring me into rest. Another second closer to the eternal end.
Phobos is my friend. He is my father, carrying me to bed as a child again. Phobos is my steady hum of music in the air. Phobos is my friend in a new body, showing me the wonders of life and thereafter.
My Phobos, my fear is to forget.
I fight this fear daily. With every moment I gain, I lose another second of life. I am not afraid of death. I am not afraid of life. I am afraid to forget the memories and moments I created, so I make more and more hoping that I will forget…
My fear

Cheyenne, I too have this fear. You are most definitely not alone in feeling this way. Sadly, I am very forgetful and there is a history of dementia in my family, which only makes me fear this more. While this is a negative situation to be in, I try to think of all the positives. Because I fear this, I will try to make my life as fulfilling as possible. Make all of the memories you can and have no regrets. Control what you CAN control and leave the rest up to God.
