Tears roll down her cheeks
and he kisses them away lovingly;
she flinches warily from his touch.
He takes her chin between his fingers,
turning her face up to his own.
Don't look at me.
Her beautiful blue eyes swim.
He is confused.
Why not, darling?
A sob wracks her body,
along with a fresh wave of tears.
I'm ugly.
His eyes fill with loving concern.
You're not ugly.
He leans closer -
a soft gasp escapes her -
their faces inches apart.
You're beautiful, baby.
He kisses her soft lips,
and for the first time in her life
she feels utterly beautiful.
Thank you so much for the favorite on "Alzheimer's". A lot of other diseases get recognition and support to find a cure, so that was my contribution to help support people with Alzheimer's Disease.
I have noticed that a lot of other diseases get more awareness, but Alzheimer's is sadly common. I believe it deserves recognition.... I hope they find a cure too!
