Food

tonight she woke up and actually got out of bed before I heard her.  She was talking about food, sometimes in Spanish, sometimes English. I asked her if she needed to go to the bathroom and started walking her there. On the way she starts talking about food, saying there isn’t any. She even mentioned something about her husband. Then she says it will be ok.  Getting her back into bed she sits for a moment, says she usually has food. I tell her it’s still night, dark out and that she will eat when she wakes up. She lies down, says “dear Jesus” prayerfully.  She didn’t go right back to sleep like usual. At one point I turned on my side.  She reached over, touched my shoulder and asked if I’m ok, if I got something to eat.  Yes, I tell her, I’m ok.  She goes back to sleep saying “OK Mija.” That’s what she calls me now, hasn’t said my name for sometime. Where is she? What does she think now?
