A Day in 1953

Everyday with Ben is different yet very familiar at the same time. On some days, I'd remind Ben that we're related. On some days, we play cards. On some days, we talk about dogs. Everyday, he tells me I look like Maura Fischer--his first and last true love, my grandmother.

Ben suffers from Anterograde Amnesia, a condition that has resulted from his surgery to relieve him of his epileptic seizures. Every morning he'll have no recollection of what happened the previous day, his last conscious memory dating way back fifty years ago.

This is his story.
