Summary:Not Yet ... (Widowed by Alzheimers)

Who am I now? I still stand, Alone- and yet not. Married, together, yes, but parted. Providing care, providing service. She knows not who I am, from day to day. She knows not her children nor siblings. She knows not her years.

I remember for me. I remember when she still WAS. I remember for her- When she cannot.

Who am I with her? Who am I without her? My heart knows her name- Alone. Who am I with her? Who am I without her? My heart knows her name- Alone. _

} My mother-in-law passed away at the end of July.

My father-in-law was devastated since he no longer had someone to take care of.
