Sharing a set of hearing aids between an old couple who can’t hear anyways
A nearly blind wife making her own extra absorbent pads for her incontinent husband
Buying an extra quart of ice cream so a demented wife who refuses to wear her dentures has something soft enough to eat that she likes
Being a demented wife who refuses to wear dentures but shares her ice cream with the husband who just bought it for her
Understanding when your kids steal your narcotics because they have pain, too
Not always filing a police report
Keeping a terrible cat that smells, vomits hairballs and your husband hates
Watching out the window for your social worker to make sure they make it to their car
Spending hours on a dinner that is eaten in a few minutes
Letting your wife blog away the evening hours without too much of a complaint
Love is confusing, between people and things
Thoughts and actions
And sometimes, just sometimes
It’s the only thing that makes any sense
