I don't count it a burden whatever to have to care for her
I need to do everything, from the moment she gets up
to the moment she goes to bed, I do absolutely everything.
I clean her teeth, I shower, dress, everything. But Its a priveledge, I count it a great privilege
to care for this one that I have loved all of these years and continue
to love.
This is the year where we will celebrate our fiftieth wedding anniversary.
Our story has been a lovely story. I first saw her when she was eight years old and her
brother became my best friend. We grew up together and as we grew up yeh
she was there.
And I knew that she use to stare at me when I was playing footy with her brother and another
friend and when we use to ride bikes and she kept
staring at me, but I wasn't interested.
I was seventeen she was sixteen, I saw her dulled up, dressed up and she had an A-line
dress on and BOOM it was gone. She was the one for me then, absolutely.
When we first started dating, I use to ride my bike from where I lived to where she was,
and that was about five kilometres on a saturday afternoon
because it was the only chance we had to get together.
and it was hair wash day for her. And she used a special cream in her hair for shampoo
and I can still smell it, because that smell was so particular so nice,
it was just absolutely special.
We had a bike and I use to ride everywhere on my bike and then Glad had a bike as well
and we put a baby chair on the front of her bike and so we carried our babies around on
the bike with her as well Yeh bikes been part of our lives, and I guess
that has something to do with us now.
Round about 2004-5 I began to notice there were things going wrong.
She was finaly diagnosed with the horrible disease of Alzheimer's.
Having lived overseas I knew that with a bike you could do lots of things
so I had a bike made, a bike chair made.
We take it to the beach and ride along beside the beach.And as we do that we see lots of
people, a lot of people come and talk to us because it's a unique thing
nobody else has a bike chair quite like that one.
I am determined to care for her every need, every need.
You see God has loved us so unconditionally and I understand that God has put his love
in my heart. and because I realise how much God has loved
me that's how I too can love my lovely wife.
She has done so much for me over all of these years and
now she can't but I can, and I can return her love.
And it's a love that well to me means I can do everything for her.
Shes my Princess and I am her William and we would'nt have it any other way,
would you have it any other way? No. No not at all . We love each other.
