The Tide

Clare Helen Welsh

A young girl spends a day at the beach with her grandfather. They walk holding hands and build sandcastles together, while she helps him enjoy their time there. Her grandfather is becoming forgetful and has trouble recalling ordinary experiences. The story compares the changing nearness of his memories to the tide: at times they are vivid and close, and at others they seem far away and quiet. It focuses on family life alongside dementia.
