Growing Love.

Goldfinch60



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.

      This read to me like a preface for a book about how love matures and teaches us. A book i'd love to read.

        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

          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~

            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!

            • Goldfinch60

              I can certainly see the past and recall all the wonderful moments we had and still have.

            • myself and me

              It is so beautiful to see the love growing deeper and stronger. Lovely.
