the pains of growing old

Was on my way home from school earlier, when I came across this elderly lady who had seemingly lost her way. Turns out she was headed to Bedok, so I accompanied her until we reached Bedok station.

The old lady had a serious problem remembering things though. We were making some small talk to keep ourselves occupied for the long journey, but she couldn't remember anything for more than 5 seconds. We ended up talking about the same things throughout the train ride. Come to think of it, I wonder if she remembered how to get home from the bus interchange.

Alzheimer's Disease setting in perhaps?
