Dedicated to Gregory

As I lie in bed about to go to sleep at our favorite time, 11:11, with the rabbits, cow, horse, and Madonna looking down on us from the markings left on the concrete ceiling of our condo, tears remind me of the other night when I apologized for having been so impatient with him. He responded, "Michael, I do not expect you to change, just be here." This story is dedicated to Gregory, he is not a victim of Alzheimer's Disease, he is a hero. His calm demeanor continues to shine through the language loss, the confusion, the misunderstandings, my impatience. This story is dedicated to Gregory. I love him so and now for sure … More Than Ever!

    You make me realize that I am not nearly grateful enough for the health of me and my partner. Nor for the relationship, itself. Thank you for your beautiful words!

    Darla,

    I am a spiritual not a religious person but:

    Love bears all things,
    believes all things,
    hopes all things,
    endures all things.

    1 Corinthians 13:7
