I silently enter the bedroom,
The light is on
But she is asleep,
Her breathing so relaxed.
I stand over her
And see the love of my life
At peace with herself,
At peace in her dementia driven world.
I see the woman she was,
So relaxed, so beautiful.
I also feel my love for her,
That love strengthens each day,
And always will
As our journey together continues,
Continues into eternity,
And our love growing ever stronger.

Lovely write Gold.
Thank you Orchi.
lovely and sweet 🙂
Thank you Charlotte, most kind.
This read to me like a preface for a book about how love matures and teaches us. A book i'd love to read.
Thank you so much for your kind words da.
THIS MADE ME CRY ANDY ~ I admire the strength of your love for your wife and the fact that you share that it grows every day ! I see that in some of our OLDER CHURCH members just how much they LOVE (that is the virtue !) and Care for their "Life Partner" to the very end and beyond ~ I pray that I will be the same ! When a Friend of mine had a stroke ~ His wife divorced HIM so there is the other side as well ! Love Johnny Mathis ~ Love the SONG ~ God's richest Blessing to you both ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN
Thank you so much Brian, may God 's blessing be with you as well.
Gold,
This write is so beautiful! It’s pure love personified! My first read of the day! It brought tears to my eyes!
I look at my mom and see how she misses the man she took care of and loved!
A love such as yours for your lifetime partner is to be admired and praised every single moment of the day! YOU ARE GOLD!!! Keep playing that Johnny Mathis song! All the best !
~Laura~
Thank you for your kind words Laura, it means a great deal to me.
People always talk about "living in the moment" but if you don't have the past, what is the present? And you are able to see the past when you look at your wife and how she would love you for that!
I can certainly see the past and recall all the wonderful moments we had and still have.
It is so beautiful to see the love growing deeper and stronger. Lovely.
Thank you m an m, it will never stop.
Great write
