    This disease is so cruel.

    I am glad you were able to have lunch together. The memories of your life before Alzheimer's are beautiful. I hope they bring you comfort.

    Such profound loss.  What a magnificent love you had.  What was and what is walk hand in hand, neither canceling the other.

    It is as LT says.  This disease is so cruel.

    When I spotted the topic, I knew it was you, Crushed. Your faithfulness to your wife is enviable. Life never seems to hand us what we planned on. You have great memories and a good family that I hope will give strength.
