He is 85 and insists on taking his wife’s hand everywhere they go. When he was asked why his wife kept looking away, he responded, “Because she has Alzheimer's”.
Then he was asked, "Will your wife worry if you let her go?"
He then replied, ′′She doesn't remember anything, she doesn't know who I am anymore, she hasn't recognized me for years.”
Surprised, I said, “And you have continued to guide her every single day even though she doesn't recognize you?"
The elderly man smiled and looked into my eyes and said, ′′She may not know who I am, but I know who she is, and she is the love of my life”
I too hope I have such a relationship Rebecca. ′She may not know who I am, but I know who she is, and she is the love of my life”
I hope Penelope and I reach this stage in life.
Thank you Hiram. I thought of this concept when I sat next to my future partner in grad school.
