Caregiving Song

in Caring For a Spouse or Partner
When your wife is diagnosed with Alzheimer's and you dedicate your life staying with her at a nursing home. This song is written for both of us. Being a caregiver is not easy, this is my way of coping with the everyday stress. Hopefully, you enjoy the song as much as I did making it.

    What a beautiful tribute to the love that you and Donna share. Thank you for sharing it with us. Being one who has made videos myself I understand what a labor of love such a professional presentation such as that is.

    Too bad I couldn’t get it to open. Only got the spinning death wheel.

    This was our wedding song in April of 2000. I love my DW who I care for every day. There are many hurdles and I do struggle at times but I'm in this for the long haul. For better or for worse…
