This is super sweet and my worst fear at the same time.
Love conquers all boundaries! The heart remembers what the mind forgets.
You may forget the person, but you dont forget the feeling. Such a beautiful couple
Can’t imagine loving someone for decades only for then to slowly forget you in their final moments. Brutal stuff, makes me scared to get married.
For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health till death do us part.
Too few people make that promise and by God, they mean every word.

My dad had a massive stroke last year. He knows he knows us, but he can’t really tell you why or name us. But when you ask him who out mom is, he’ll giggle and daddy her doesn’t know her name, but knows her wants to kiss her…..
Peace to you and your folks
Such a heartwarming reminder of how love truly transcends everything, pure and unbreakable.
This is so beautiful it hurts. Real love is about showing up, no matter what.
Your parents’ love story is a beautiful reminder of what it means to be there for someone, no matter what
My mother recently passed from this. Watching helplessly as your loved one declines is extremely painful. I wish it on no one.
Some deep rooted feelings, and emotions cannot be erased, even by disease. This answers a questions I always had as a kid, if I lost my memories, how would I feel when I see the people I love. This beautiful.
How quickly your love story will turn into a horror story, dementia is no joke and I’m sorry for anyone who has to see loved ones get it

This is so sweet, but also my worst fear at the same time 😅💖 Such a beautiful example of true commitment, even when things get tough.
Amazing how daily, we take simple things in life for granted
How can I find such love?
My parents both had late onset dementia. They never forgot who each other were though my dad once asked my mom if she was his wife. She died last year but he’s not aware she’s dead. If it comes up he will say something like, “I seem to have misplaced your mother.”
A bond so strong <3 that even dementia can’t erase the sense of safety n connection…. now that’s the kind of plot twist that warms the heart and breaks it a little too
Such a beautiful testament to love. It’s inspiring to see that kind of dedication and care.
Dementia is genuinely terrifying. The thought that your brain could slowly deteriorate and you’d lose grip on reality is really scary. I really hope we, as a society, find a cure for it soon.
I knew someone that was a similar age and totally lost their wits with early onset dementia, but had a miraculous recovery and went back to a regular life. They were part of a clinical trial that used some kind of electroshock therapy at Berkeley. It might be worth looking into. It was truly a miracle.
unbreakable love, thanks for sharing this !!
i wish i can have that kind of love. one day!
Fuck dementia
Oh my heart is full and breaking at the same time.
Dementia is such an awful thing 😢😞
So sad and so beautiful.
The cruelest disease, I’m so sorry. There needs to be a lot more money and research being invested to find a cure.
The way your dad cares for your mom, even when she doesn’t remember his name, shows a love that goes beyond words. That’s the kind of love that’s truly unbreakable.
Dementia – the long goodbye. Horrible illness
Big amounts of respect to the dad being a carer to someone with dementia is difficult (I did it for 15 years)
Having watched someone I love die from Dementia I can honestly say it has to be one of the most gut-wrenching plagues on humankind.
Through thick and thin they love each other.
Sometimes I’ll be cuddling with my grandma on the couch, having a great time. We’ll have some decent conversation then she’ll go “who are you again?” 😂 and I have to remind her I’m her grandson “the middle one”.
It’s not as heartbreaking as I thought it would be. I understand what’s happening and I know she feels comfortable with us because she’s always so loving and wanting to give us kisses and hold our hands and stuff all the time.
Beautiful ♥️
🥲 bless you all❤️
How absolutely heartwarming, and heart wrenching. Show, and give that man as much love as you can possibly can. I would just sit and cry every second she wasn’t able to see me.
My grandma also had dementia. She had never reached a point where she didn’t know anyone but in her last few weeks, she didn’t even know who she was. I asked her what her name was, what my name was and she just stared at me blankly. But when I asked her her husband was she said, “Bill.” Grandpa had been gone for 10 years at that point. They were married for 62 years. He always doted on her and gave her perfume and chocolates for every holiday. (The kind of gifts that every woman wants that makes you feel like your husband’s sweetheart instead of his wife) Imagine a love where you don’t know your own name anymore but you still know their name.
Love at an old age is such a blessing
She looks so old for 58. Probably a former hippie party girl whose past is finally catching up to her 🤷♀️
