Overview

A true story. A love story. A sad story. A story of hope. A story of despair. This is a husband's remembrance of the seven years he spent as a caregiver for his wife. It recalls the first halting moments of concern shared in a simple kitchen under the glare of florescent lighting. The tale unfolds on the emotionally devastating, life ending news of dementia and possible Alzheimer's. As the couple begin their terrible journey towards the predictable conclusion the caregiver seeks to provide all that he promised her.

In the end it is a tragic love story many have endured. One very few men have recounted. It is a story of how a man took care of his wife as she dealt with the dreadful disease of Alzheimer's. It is a story of how he kept the promise to keep her at home until he could do so no more. It is a recounting of how he walked the path and shared her journey until its inevitable end.
