Chapter 19
Ty is up in his loft researching on his computer, Jack walks in
"Jack" what are you doing?
"Ty" Researching memory loss
"Jack" You can't fix Amy
"TY" I can't just sit by and watch Amy hurt
"Jack" I know neither do I but there is nothing we can do but be there for Amy
"Ty" You need to know that I care about Amy
"Jack" And I respect that, but you can't try to cure Amy stay off the internet it's only going to fill your head
"Ty" I was looking up a specialist to send Amy to help her get her memory back I can't stand that and watch Amy suffer
"Jack" why do I think you are speaking from experience
"Ty" I just am ok
"Jack" But remember I am here if you need someone to talk to
"Ty" Thanks Jack
Jack walks downstairs, Ty looks back on his laptop

"Amy" That is what I was forgetting
"Lou" That not funny

"Amy" I don't know I haven't seen him this morning I am sure he is up in the loft but I don't really know

Ty and John walk in the hall
"John" I need to be Stright with you Charlie is getting worse I tried calling your mom, but she hasn't called me back
"TY" He is getting worse isn't he
"John" I am afraid so that I think it's time you consider moving into a nursing home where he can have round the clock care
"Ty" so what you are saying is that he is getting worse
"John" His memory is completely gone
"Ty" Let me talk to mom and see what she wants to do
"John "Just let me know soon and he is lonely

At Lilly house
Lilly sitting outside, Ty drives up
"Ty" Hey Mom can we talk
"Lilly" sure what up
"Ty" I went to see Grandpa
"Lilly" You mean Charlie
"Ty" Yeah and he is getting worse he didn't even know who I was, and the doctor is saying he is getting worse he needs to be in a nursing home
"Lilly" why isn't the memory care any good
"Ty" Because mom he can't take care of himself any more he needs round the clock care and where he is at has a nursing home they just need you to sign off on the transfer since dad is passed away you and I are his only living relatives
"Lilly" Ok fine if that is what is best for him, I will call them and decide
"Ty" Now I have to get back to Heartland
"Lilly" Maybe soon you and I can go see your Grandfather
"Ty" I know he would like to see you
Ty gets in his truck and drives away , He arrives back at Heartland and walks up to his loft and finds Amy in his bed
"TY" what are you doing up here
"Amy" waiting for you where did you go
"Ty" To visit my Grandfather in Vancouver who has Dementia
"Amy" I have never heard you talk him before
"TY" That is because I don't like to talk about him because it hurts me to see him suffer Grandpa and I were so close he is the one who taught me how to fish play sports and be a boy I spent every weekend at his house and the one day about 5 months before Dad passed away I went over to his house and notice that things were out of sorts like simple things he forgot like where he put his keys mis placing the TV remote so I convinced him to go get checked and he was in the beginning stages of memory loss and dad refused to accept so they put him in a memory care place so they wouldn't have to deal with him I used to go visit him every day before we moved and now he has gotten worse to where they want to move him to a nursing home
"Amy" Maybe the next time you go I can go with you
"Ty" sure I'd like that, and he would too he likes meeting new people he won't remember you in 10 minutes
"Amy" why are you telling this to me
"Ty" Because I want you to get better and while I was there I spoke to a specialist who deals with your kind of cases and he has agreed to meet you and maybe he can help you regain your memories what do you say you and I go to Vancouver for a week and meet this doctor
"Amy" I don't want to go see a specialist I just want to get better on my own
"Ty" what if that doesn't happen
"Amy" Then I don't get better and I am not going waste time at a doctor's office to tell me that I may never get better and I have I have to accept that even though I don't want to
Ty puts his arms around Amy
"Ty" You don't have to accept that for one minute just let's go see the specialist and see what he has to say
"Amy" Will you go with me
"Ty" Yes of course I will and I won't leave your side I promise
"Amy" I love you and can we keep this between us for now
"Ty" Yes of course
