I cannot leave her sir I cannot leave my love She does not remember me She does not know who I am Yet I take her hand Every day I take her hand in mine We walk out just like before I cannot leave her sir Of that you can be so very sure. Based on a true story and its about a lovely man that does not want to leave his wife while he can still look after her. For me its a heart based theme nothing more than that nuff said. Love stories are as old as the hills but for me his words are priceless. She cannot remember who anyone is putting it politely but he will not leave her leave her he will not.

She does not know him as such but he still takes care of her. Beautiful caring story.

very moving - anyone caring for a relative suffering from Alzheimer's or other dementias will certainly relate to this

Beautiful poem. I remember a song by the Clancy Brothers about this, but the other way round. The wife looking after her husband.

That's very touching. People may promise to love and support their partner in sickness and health, through good times and bad, but not all of them stick to that promise.

So true some do not keep their promise at all but he did. She once said thank you for a lovely afternoon in Germany and we were in Spain. But we acted like normal so she would not feel out of place.

I watched a movie called wife diaries where the wife is loved but so naive

This is a real life story where the wife loses her memory bit by bit. Its the cruelest illness I can think of. He is adamant he will not leave her.
