THE  STRENGTH OF LOVE

THOUGHT PROVOKING....

READING THIS MAY HELP YOUR DEAR ONES.....

Want to share a rare experience with you friends,  to tell you what love does....
My  Kaki,  (Dad's best friend's wife) was  suffering from alzheimer's. She had  forgotten even names of her family members except her youngest son's.

We were very closely knit; and Kaki n Kaka  loved me dearly. They often visited me whenever I  went home to visit my family. I too visited them  each time I went to  Bombay.

Then Kaka left us for his Heavenly abode. Kaki's health slowly deteriorated. It  was  pathetic to  see her  staring at everyone like a stranger. It was heart breaking.

On  one of my visits to  Bombay, my Bhabhi n I were visiting her.  Only her grand daughter n maid were there.  I  gave her a warm hug n sat across trying to revive old memories.  Suddenly   she  got up,  came across n kissed me.  Everyone including me was shocked. I just couldn't believe what had happened. It was a thing, least expected !!!
This  proves that love helps everyone, including people who have a memory loss.

We shouldn't give up easily,  keep  loving them and showing them they are precious and important.
Even today after years, I  feel that warmth.  It was an event that reiterated my  belief in love.

LOVE HAS GREAT STRENGTH. May be this will help them to recover or  at least slow down the menace.
