If you know a good love
story, share it. George and Adriana Cuevas have a great love story. Beginning
87 years ago, their love reigns eternal. They met as children with trillions of
dreams and no certainties about their futures. Distance sat between them for 15
long years. But they continued as pen pals until love brought them back
together like inseparable magnets.
The day finally arrived
when their love was celebrated in marriage. Children followed with lots of
reasons for George and Adriana to cherish their mutual joy while stringing
memories together. But dementia, a terminal illness with many challenges, also
became an integral part of their relationship. Sometimes love is too magnificent
to explain, but the story must still be told. When The Mind Says Goodbye does that:

What a wonderful video and what a great opportunity for volunteers to support not only the spouse but the son as well. This is such an intimate place to volunteer, and a place to reap quiet life changing rewards.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this poignant video. For me, as a hospice volunteer, one of the most moving and inspiring things I witness are the many ways in which people's love for one another enables them to truly be with enormous challenges.
