We all hope to grow old together with the person we love. But it can get hard, especially if your loved one is struggling with memory loss due to aging.

However, being with someone for life means sticking with them through everything, even when they’re sick. It’s a promise you make when you get married.

In a small nursing home, there’s an 80-year-old man who’s showing this commitment every day. He comes in like clockwork, carrying breakfast for his wife. It might seem like a simple routine, but it’s full of love and meaning. His act of delivering a warm meal to his wife every morning has caught the attention and respect of everyone around him.

When people asked why his wife stays in the nursing home, he said softly, “She has Alzheimer’s disease.” The disease had taken her memory and she didn’t recognize him anymore, but he still loved her.

Someone asked him, “Would your wife worry if you didn’t bring her breakfast one day?” He replied sadly, “She doesn’t remember me. She hasn’t known who I am for five years.”

Even though Alzheimer’s is sad, he keeps bringing her breakfast every day because he cares about her.

A nurse was curious and asked him, “Why do you bring your wife breakfast if she doesn’t know who you are?” He smiled gently and said, “She may not know me, but I know her.”

His words were simple but powerful. Despite Alzheimer’s stealing memories, he remembered the love they shared, the promises they made, and the life they built together.
