Not up to unconditional love.

I’m aware of some Alzheimer patients that live and savor each good moment for as long as they can. Especially those in the relatively early stages. They know they have Alzheimer’s. They know that their situation will gradually deteriorate. But still, they make the most of it. While they can. A few contemplate suicide. But generally, they get on with life. Which I find remarkable. The irony is that their care-givers often are the ones with the most difficulty. Because they are challenged. And they learn that maybe they aren’t up to unconditional love. –Jim Broede
