Her eyes tinged red.
I didn't realize her husband had
Been moved to a facility.
Permanently.
When she visits, he pleads,
"Maybe I can come home
Again."
He can't.
In fact, she may need to give
Up their home.
The expense.
We held onto each other for
A long time.
The emotional toll on both
Of them is much greater
Than a financial one could
Ever be.
It's the price of caring,
The cost of love.
