People i can't forget....

We were visiting a nursing home. A young man in his fifties was pushing his wife in a wheelchair. It was their anniversary. He explained to us that they lost a child years ago and his wife lost her mind! Their child fell down the stairs and died. She never recovered from their loss. So he moved in with her at the nursing home. He could have left her and lived anywhere. but he choose to stay with her and honor their wedding vows. He spent his days pushing her around in her chair, while she babbled to herself. Since it was their Anniversary, their grown, survivng children visited them. I couldn't help but think how sad it was for him, to give up everything, but he couldn't leave his wife. I wish more men felt that way! xx
