pleaseee nooo...reminded me of jab tak hai jaan(movie).
Only yesterday i read these little stories and today i get to know that there is a possibility of memory loss.
story 1:an elderly patient who is suffering from a severe case of Alzheimer's. He can rarely remember his own name, and he often forgets where he is and what he said just a few minutes beforehand. But by the stretch of some miracle (perhaps the miracle of love), he remembers who is wife is every morning when she shows up to spend a few hours with him. He usually greets her by saying, "Hello my beautiful Kate."
story 2: Today, due to Alzheimer's and dementia, my grandfather usually can't remember who my grandmother is when he wakes up in the morning. It bothered my grandmother a year ago when it first happened, but now she's fully supportive of his condition. In fact, she plays a game every day in which she tries to get my grandfather to ask her to re-marry him before dinnertime. She hasn't failed yet.
But this is where I want them to reach..
And this is where I want their 'story' to reach...
Today, as my 91-year-old grandfather (a military doctor, war hero, and successful business owner) rested in his bed, I asked him what his greatest life accomplishment was. He turned around, grabbed my grandmother's hand, looked her in the eyes, and said, "Growing old with you."
