Yes, round-the-clock loving.

Funny thing. On the Alzheimer's message board a woman said family members keep asking when her husband, who has early onset Alzheimer's Disease, will get a job. They think it would do him good.

I suggested that the couple spend the rest of their lives on the same job -- loving each other. Spending every day together. Taking life one day at a time. Making the most of each day. In love. That is a fulltime job. There won't be time for other things. They can tell inquiring folks that neither one of 'em can fit in another job. After all, the loving- each-other endeavor takes 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Yes, round-the-clock loving. --Jim Broede
