Living with Bob and "Al"

Sheri was in the bedroom making the bed yesterday, daughter number 2 (the one who shields her heart with her sleeve) was home from college getting ready to go to work. Bob follows Sheri into the bedroom. Sheri says " Why don't you sit in your chair in the living room and rest your back?" Bob takes the 10 steps from bedroom to the living room in this tiny house she rented,  "Al" turns to daughter number 2 and says "wheres Mom?" When Bob was first diagnosed the doctor told Sheri "Al" had a 30 second retention span... Sheri thinks we are down to 10.
