A love of 50 years will always be so true.
Doctors say she has Alzheimer's, soon she won't even remember me.
Not a day goes by that I didn't say "I love you".
I know down deep in her heart she'll always remember me.
There are days when she gets up when she doesn't even know her own name.
She yells at me like I am a stranger.
Maybe if I spent more time with her . . . I wouldn't be the one to blame.
The doctors say she can't be left alone there is so much danger.
Our family is all grown now and on their own.
It's hard to sit beside her while I held her hand as she asks "Who are you?"
Some days I cry to myself . . . I feel so all alone.
Tears filled my eyes when you remember who I am, even if it's only for a minute or two.
Everyday is something of a new adventure . . . I talk to her about all the times we shared.
I think she drifts in and out of reality, just by the look in her eyes.
With everything in our lives that we shared until Alzheimer's,
No one is really ready or prepared. |
