- Couple fights Alzheimer's together -
Ward and Eloise Hill met in college. It all started with a handshake. But now, they hold hands, trying to ward of Alzheimer's together. They are close to losing memory of 68 years together.
Ward was diagnosed with the disease about two years ago and Eloise sometime after. The interviewer came to visit them many times, many a times Ward and Eloise would scarcely remember. The interviewer found herself repeating conversations she had had with the couple multiple times.
Eloise told stories of Ward and of how much she loved him. It was love at first sight. They created a bond that was unbreakable, even unbreakable to Alzheimer's.
I found this absolutely beautiful. My grandmother has Alzheimer's and it means a lot to me and hits close to home.
This is so cute! Literal relationship goals. It is amazing how even in a difficult like facing a disease like Alzheimers they can still remember each other and maintain their love.
