Holding the hand(s) of the one you love even though …

When I got out of my car, I saw the gentleman coming in my direction with the lady. They are living in my neighborhood. The man takes the lady’s hand and walks with her several times each day. The man looks like he is in his 70s, and the lady looks like his mom. The man greeted me and asked me if I am a priest. I told him I am an Anglican priest. He told me that he’s Catholic and asked me to pray for the lady. The lady’s his wife and has been suffering from dementia for years. I told him it is a blessing for his wife to have such a caring husband. The husband replied that he has been trying his best with smiles and tears. I prayed with/for them and blessed them. The husband again holds her hand and left with peace. I was touched by their love, and I am going to hold my wife’s hand when we see each other this evening.
