Her memories more distant now.
Only brief flashes.
A happier moment.
A familiar face.
But the memories become harder to recall.
And the dense fog rolls in.
Holding hands with a stranger.
The flame all but extinguished.
The love of his life.
A shell of what once was.
He will carry the memories for her.
But a vow was made.
A promise.
Though she couldn’t see.
He never left her side.
