They’d been together 44 years
until at age 70 when
her mind began to slip
and blanked out.
Then it became like
they were no
longer together –
she didn’t know him
anymore.
His heart broke at
her loss of memory,
her loss of self
recognition.
He still loved her, but
she no longer loved him or
knew who he was. Love was not
supposed to be like that.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
