Does that make sense?

I've thought about what I'd want if I were an Alzheimer's patient, and had a wife much younger than me. I'd want her to get on with the rest of her life. And leave me be. I think that would put my mind more at ease. But if the roles were reversed, and my wife was the patient, and I was much younger than her, I'd still stick with her and remain a devoted care-giver to the end. And that would put my mind more at ease. In other words, I'd not treat a loved one the way I'd want to be treated. Does that make sense? --Jim Broede
