A Love that Survives

[susan30528]

She looks into the eyes of the man she married 55 years ago. He doesn't remember her name or that he even married her.
He doesn't remember their children or life. Yet she spends her days tending to his daily needs, with a patient heart.
At times he becomes agitated and says things that breaks her heart, yet she continues on with a patient heart. He constantly is
asking about going home, but he is home. A home they have shared for the past 32 years, but patiently she continues on
with a patient heart. She was found one morning looking at her wedding band . She longs for the love that she once had.
Yet she continues on with a patient heart.
This woman of strength and determination is my hero and a woman I am proud to call my mom.

 

[Rev T.S.Perkins]

The scripture verse that your story brings to mind is one my own wife stirs up in my heart:

"Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD." Prov 18:22

My memory isn't that bad... yet, but it has definitely slipped a long ways along with many things physical, but my wife, rather than drifting away from me has taken a stronger hold on my hand to stabilize and strengthen what remains.

Your mother is that way. Cherish her and our Lord who has given us such blessings as this. Let us pray for those who are missing such helpmeets!

Glory to God!
