This is one of those stories that smacks us in the face like a wet mop, the realities of living and passing on. Repercussions whichever way things go. Great writing. Thanks for sharing.

This was such a sweet, touching story. "Al Zeimer" made my breath catch in my throat. You really moved me. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

It's too bad the things we realize only when it's too late. Though you are exceptionally lucky that you made it to old age before you felt 'overwhelmed for the first time' in your life. Good luck to you and yours.

A touching story, if a bit maudlin. I suppose there are no new ways to face impending death, but I had hoped for something less typical. The mention of Al Zeimer feels a little cheesy given the tone of the rest of the piece. But that's just my opinion.

Best of luck at the polls.

Peace, Lee

What a lovely composition for your wife. I was tearing up as you described missed times with your family, while doing the very thing you wanted to do, which is take care of your family. It's a catch-22 for sure, but it sounds like you all came through it and remain a family. I hope God blesses you with many more years waking up beside your wife.

This was great fiction that sounds real. It makes me wonder, did my husband think this way about our marriage before he died? Thank you for sharing this post.
