Recollection. Not bad for a 3000-word story. I'm beginning to hope this one might have a shot at some of the year's nomination lists.

Nancy Fulda’s “Recollection” and Daniel H. Wilson’s “The Blue Afternoon that Lasted Forever” bring a laserlike focus to pure, powerful moments of human connection.

I didn’t think this would be up my alley, but I ended up finding it very touching. A new treatment has been developed for Alzheimer’s. Unfortunately, while it arrests the progress of the disease, it is unable to restore lost memories. The story explores one family’s – specifically, one couple’s – wrestling with the new reality that the treatment has given them. Very realistic, and something that could be a real issue within our lifetimes.

The final story, Nancy Fulda’s “Recollection,” examines spousal affection when the husband has been cured of Alzheimer’s, but the memories already robbed by the disease cannot be recovered....
These two stories are tearjerkers, if you are so inclined. (I was.)
