With the ability to love. Forever.

Turning negatives into positives. It’s a good thing to practice. Like when my dear sweet wife Jeanne became riddled with Alzheimer’s. Initially, it was a negative. An unexpected pitfall. A disaster. A setback. Why Jeanne? My beloved. Took a while for me to adjust. For Jeanne to adapt, too. But together. We were able. To salvage positives. From the experience. Meaningful cumulative stuff. Even eight years after Jeanne’s physical demise. Yes, Jeanne’s still very much alive. We’re able to converse. In spiritual ways. Helping each other. To feel life's amazing twists and pulse beats. To care. About life. What can be more positive than that? To survive. As spirits. With the ability to love. Forever. --Jim Broede
