For me this perfectly typifies where I am in my Life journey and can't imagine truly moving beyond it really despite how I may appear to people who don't truly know me.

Dementia is the cleverest of thieves and it continually/daily steals more and more of my mother and I wish I could stop time (the River) and or at least slow it down, as I'm nowhere near ready to say goodbye or accept this deterioration of the greatest influence in my life and my best friend leaving me behind to a place I cannot go.

My Interpretation
