Gladys was
diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease 8 years ago, Bill started to care for
her since then. They have been married over 50 years already. I'm sure
there are many happy memories in their mind. But when bad things
happened to a good marriage, they stayed together and faced those
challenges together. He did what he promised in their wedding vows
of " We have taken each other for better or for worse".
Bill Forward is
over 70 years old already and his daughter worries about him. She wants to make
sure her dad is ok before he can take care of his wife. There were many
take-away moments from the story but the one that stayed with me the most was
Bill’s statement of “I don't want to live until I'm 100, I just want to live
one day longer than Gladys so that I can care for her until the very end“. It's
easy to say love when we are healthy, but it's really hard to say love
when we suffer from illness or poverty.
Bill is proud of caring for his wife. he said:" She is always my princess". Though Gladys is unlucky to suffer from Alzheimer, she's lucky to have a sincere husband who has been with her for over 50 years and sharing the rest of their lives together.
