the hospital.I saw him (1) his watch and told

told me that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife
and that she had a special disease.I asked if she would be
worried if
he was a bit late.He replied that she (3)
knew who he was,that she had not been able to recognize him for five years now.

you still go every morning,even though
she doesn’t know who you are?”
He smiled and said.“She doesn’t know me
but I know who she is.” Now I realize that in marriages true love is acceptance
of all,that the happiest people don’t (4)

how to live through the storm,but how to dance in the
rain.
