Stand by me
.
.
This is a picture of my 82 year-old dad visiting my 77 year-old mom in the hospital this morning. They've been married over 55 years and still have a love that is stronger than sunlight. My dad had several strokes and can barely move and he managed to wink at her and hold her hand. My mom has short term memory loss, making her knee surgery and a stay in the hospital an endless groundhog day.
.
Fortunately they have an army of family and caretakers smoothing their journey.
.
Today is our eighteenth wedding anniversary. We are postponing our romantic dinner for a couple of weeks waiting until things slow down, secure in the knowledge that two weeks from now we will still be married, still love each other and still have things to talk about.
.
.
Marilyn.
.
When the night has come
And the land is dark,
And the moon is the only light we'll see.
No I won't be afraid,
Oh I won't be afraid,
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
