She, this woman whom I married sixty-three years ago, is now suffering from late-stage dementia, and I am her care giver. In an effort to better understand the disease and what it is doing to my wife, I have researched, documented and built in advice to anyone who might become involved in the preservation of dignity and passion which remains in the mind of the person afflicted with the disease. The portrayal of the inevitable march toward finality is a literary approach done as a tender tribute to a remarkable woman, and its message serves as a beacon to those who want to understand and care for the person afflicted with the insidious disease called dementia. This book is my love story.
