Annabelle Allen ā19 was published in The New York Times āModern Loveā column, writing an essay about her fatherās battle with Alzheimerās.
In her essay, Allen writes:
āSince graduating from college two years ago, I have split my time between my apartment in Brooklyn and my parentsā house in Hastings-on-Hudson. Every week, I pack a bag and take the train 30 miles north to help with the caregiving ā¦
āI struggle to understand myself as a 23-year-old who is also taking care of a parent. I feel stiff when my roommates get dressed for work and ask which shoes I like best, or when they talk about their goals: what they want to do, where they want to live. I marvel at the ease with which they can sound so sure of their freedom and choices.ā
Allen is a freelance journalist. Her articles have appeared in The Bklyner, The Hudson Independent and Kings County Politics.
