I met Linda when I was 6 years old. I mowed her family’s yard, and she eventually stole my heart. This past June, we celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary.
We shared a meal that day, just like we always do. I drive the four miles from the home we purchased together in 1975 to the memory care facility where she now lives. Two years ago, her Alzheimer’s progressed to the point where I could no longer take care of her. Today, she’s unable to walk, feed herself or even hold a conversation.
Linda was a nurse, and she devoted her life to caring for others. Together, we raised two children and traveled the world. She filled our home with art and music. She was the light of my life.
But before my very eyes, she’s vanished. It’s been the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through. And I know that soon, I’m going to lose her again.
