Metaphor for Alzheimer's
the remember balloons Jessie Oliveros illustrator Dana Wulfekotte
Child shares balloons or memories with Grandfather. Chasing dog to school house in a Saturday, a wedding, fishing days. Over time grandfather looses his memories; his balloons float away. Great sadness for child and family. Memories shared can be carried to other generations.
