This vivid piece takes me back to the days where I would sit and talk to my grandmother, time would stand still and life would be calm.
Ed Werler's account of how he met the second love of his life, and how their life together is now that she has Alzheimer's, is different and inspiring.
Alzheimer's stories often focus on the cruelty of the disease, but Birkeland's piece focus on the sweetness of love, and how you can hang on to that even after the onset has come far enough to require long-term care.
Life will be good if I can experience love like this.
