I have a friend and her grandmother has Alzheimer’s. One day we were talking about this sickness and how it affects everyone in the family emotionally. With Alzheimer’s, the loved one endures this illness and doesn’t even have any idea of the world around.

My friend expressed her feelings saying, “It breaks my heart every time I see my grandma; especially, when she doesn’t recognize me and I can’t help her in anyway.” On the other hand, however, when things are normal people look forward to enjoy the time spent with their loved one.

Still Love

I know I am not the only one who is going through this. When you love someone, that other person may not comprehend your love for them. He may even say things to put you down or hurt your feelings. There is someone in my life who does that to me constantly. It is so funny that I want my love to grow for this person, but I always end up getting hurt.

I want to share all the good things and happy moments with this person. However, it always turns out different and we end up on another subject. Sometimes, I feel he is just jealous of me at times since I have accomplished so much in short period of time. Still, I don’t know how he manages to blame me for everything and make me feel guilty for nothing. He makes me feel as if there is something wrong with me.

My friends support and understand me better than him. It makes me angry; sometimes I want to share something, but I know that I won’t receive any positive or pleasing feedback. So what is the use? I always hope for it to change, but I don’t think it is going to happen anytime soon.

I don’t want to brag, but I was there to help him financially and emotionally whenever he needed me. I don’t know if he will ever be able to understand my feelings. I don’t know why, but I think I will always love him.
