Day is Ending
"To love and to cherish, in sickness and in health, until death" takes on new meaning in this powerful story of Richard and Trude Zalar and their struggle with Alzheimer's disease. I cried as I followed Trude's decent into her illness, but I suspect that a lot of my tears were for people who had never experienced such a real and lasting love. This wonderfully written story introduced me to some fascinating people that I learned to care about while it taught me about the devastating impact of Alzheimer's disease. Congratulations Dr. Zalar and Mr. Meyer. You've touched my heart.

In today's day and age, we are looking for quick fixes, the next best gadget and a pill to fix everything. Not many people today would have given so much of themselves as Dr. Zalar did while care giving for his wife. The love and devotion they built together early in their marriage is what sustained Dr. Zalar during all those long hard years of watching Alzheimer's take the life of his beautiful bride. Truly inspirational to people of all ages. One dreams of finding the kind of love and communication these two found in each other, even after words were no longer possible. Bless you, Dr. Zalar!
