Author and artist Sarah Leavitt’s mother was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s; the family provided home care for six years. During that time, Sarah drew about her experiences. In these panels, Sarah says, “[I] had a vision of myself as a child, trying to grasp [my mother’s] leg as she fluttered away to join the birds."
