This was a short, well written, and sweet romance.
Rachel and Steven, two old and sick lovers, one suffering from Alzheimer disease, and the other from pneumonia, but both still very much in love. The love is so strong that Rachel could still in a flash, remember not only Nancy, her daughter but also Steven her husband. The joy they share is limitless.

Short Romance Story
This is a very short story, but poignant! I would love to know the backstory to Steven and Rachel's romance! Sixty years of marriage is quite a feat these days.

This story reminded me of my aunt and uncle. They celebrated their 72nd anniversary this summer. My aunt had a stroke a few years ago, The first day in the hospital when she was allowed to get up, my uncle danced her around the room. I put together a video of them dancing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4H05...

What a beautiful, touching story of a moment in a woman's life, a moment when she's lucid and remembers who she is and who her husband of sixty years is. Short and sweet, but it captures the spirit of their love.
