The secret of real love

You may have seen this story on the internet.
My Mom in Charleston sent it to me.
An elderly man was in a hurry that morning.
He was going to the nursing home.
He liked to have breakfast with his wife.
His wife is an Alzheimer's disease victim.
She does not know who he is.
Hasn't for five years.
"But I still know who she is," he says.
Now that's more than just affection.
That's love stretched over a lifetime.
This gentleman knows what's important.
He relives the memories of their good times.
The times when she knew who he was.
That's the kind of bond all of us deserve.
It is a two-way street, this kind of love.
You give it to get it. Work at it, savor it.
It's there if you want it. Make it work for you.
