Synopsis

The love story of the century. The real meaning of "in sickness and in health!" It's the story by a spouse of his beloved wife's disappearance down a road of no return - Alzheimer's. Sara Ellison contracted the disease when she was in her early fifties. She attributed her problems to the "empty nest syndrome", as their three children were now in college. Her violent mood swings, she attributed to menopause. The couple was not prepared, and now their house will not go to their children, but to the state when they die. The husband had to find new ways of communicating as his wife could no longer speak. He learned the language of feelings and sensing her spiritual presence.
