Th...My favorite love story was never written down. There are no words to describe it. It's never been made into a movie. There are no actors, directors, or cameras that can capture it. The love I speak of is my mother's love for my father.<br /><br />My parents found each other in their mid and late 20's. My father had been wheeled down on a gurney for an x-ray. My mother was his bone photographer that day. A simple beginning for two wonderful people.<br /><br />They lived a wonderful life together. There were two children who learned everything from them. They had adventures in five different countries over three years in the late 80's, one year in South Carolina, and thirty four years together in rural West Virginia surrounding it all.<br /><br />Yes simple. I just wish it had stayed that way. In April of 1998 my father was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimers. He was fifty. My mother who, twenty four years earlier, vowed to love him in sickness and health kept that promise to the very letter of the word.<br /><br />He suffered from his disease for another twelve years. For all but the last three he lived at home with mom and then only at the insistance of my sister and I did she move him to a care facility. <br /><br />She loved and for him through the memory loss, the fear, the rage, the sorrow, and finally through the end of his life just so that she could have every possible moment of happiness that she could find during the end of his life. Even after he could no longer be at home she went and fed him breakfast every morning and supper night, and every meal on the weekends. She took him for walks around the facility; outside on wonderful days, inside when it just wasn't possible to go outdoors. She sang to him and to this day loves him, even though he is no longer at her side, with all of her heart.Stanley Fordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185738780824295377.post-26308516043217591472012-11-08T16:34:10.392-06:002012-11-08T16:34:10.392-06:00I love Gone With the Wind.

They meet, fall in love, she gets sicks and is sent away. Years later, she disappears and her parents ask him to help them find her. He does. When she's back home, her uncle asks her if the guy ever believed she was getting married, and she answers "Not for one second", as he flies back home thinking of the life they could have had together had he stayed. They loved each other, yet separated because their lives were too different and they chose to keep the feeling at its best.Sara Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185738780824295377.post-49734416554366370232012-11-07T12:06:43.228-06:002012-11-07T12:06:43.228-06:00Oh I had forgotten how cool The Abyss was.
