“From the outside looking in, I guess our relationship can seem shallow. But it breaks my heart for someone to even speak something like dementia into existence for the man I love.
“On top of that, the statement is completely untrue.
“I’ve taken into consideration everything that comes with dating a man older than me.
“It may sound naïve, but I am prepared to deal with whatever is thrown at us and intend to take care of him until his last breath.
“No matter how difficult it may get because that’s the kind of connection we’ve built in our friendship way before getting married.
“My favorite comment was, “I can tell he loves you so much by the look in his eyes”.
