A couple in Love - 이한중


    Husband, Sy, is 96 years old and
    has had a rather advanced Alzheimer's disease for years.
    His wife, Mildred, is 92 years old, had coronary bypass
    surgery 30 years ago, remains alert and active and
    attentive to him more than ever.

    Mildred yells at him every few minutes making sure
    he follows her orders.
    She makes sure he eats, takes bath and gets up
    every hour for exercise.
    She is tearful when he does not eat well.
    She panics when he falls.

    They've got a care-giver part of the day, and
    their senior children do what they can to chip in.
    They go to see their long-time friend and doctor regularly
    and make sure their doctor checks everything out
    as they have done for decades.
    Sy has been getting weaker and
    has become wheelchair bound.
    He's got heart problem, kidney problem, anemia, etc.
    Mildred cries every time she hears something is wrong
    with Sy because she does not want to lose him.
    Sy does not understand why she yells, then cries.
    He smiles because he thinks she is acting funny.

    Their children and their friends all say
    they are the most blessed couple.
    Yet Mildred pays no attention to what they are saying.
    She just worries all the time for Sy
    she loves so much.
    Sy seems happy all the time and
    smiles all the time.
