I titled this entry love is being able to forgive. I think sometimes in order for love to not die forgiveness is in order. Especially when dealing with someone with a disease like Alzheimer.

Sometimes my husband's words hurt and I have a hard time reminding myself it is the disease talking and not him. Usually he does not even remember the mean things he said and is clueless why I am so upset. He would be devastated if he knew what he had said.

I know he loves me and I have to keep reminding myself that he does. Remind myself of the early mornings I wake up when he strokes my hair and gently kisses me. Sometimes he wakes me up whispering words of love to me. Sometimes he still remembers who I am.

Forgiving is necessary because I love him and will always love him. He means too much for me to allow unforgiveness to destroy our relationship.
