Man Leaves Wife Love Letter Before Losing His Memory to Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s disease is a brutal disease that not only affects the patient but also those who love them. It’s so difficult to watch someone you care about deeply change into someone you don’t always recognize. In the beginning, Alzheimer’s patients sometimes recognize how their lives are changing, and it’s heartbreaking. A woman found a sticky note left by her husband during his Alzheimer’s journey. It’s a beautiful testament to their love, and it’s likely to make you shed a tear or two.
“P.S. I forget a lot of things but – I never forget how wonderful you are. Love Joseph,” the sweet not reads.

Alzheimer’s Didn’t Take the Doting Man’s Love
Caption on a viral Instagram post sums up the sentiment beautifully.
“With Alzheimer’s affecting more than 7 million Americans, many families saw their own stories in Joseph’s words, calling it a rare, lasting reminder of love through loss,” the message reads.
True love can transcend difficult times, and seeing this sweet message made many people emotional.
“The way the handwriting gets a little shaky at the end… You can tell he was fighting to get those words down while he still could. Absolutely heart-wrenching,” someone wrote.
Others believe Joseph’s love affair with his wife will continue far beyond Alzheimer’s.
“Love truly leaves a lasting mark, even through memory loss,” someone wrote.
“I hope they find each other again in a better place and time one day,” another person added.
Of course, many people found themselves overcome with tears from Joseph, his wife, and the entire Alzheimer’s community. Although it’s a cruel disease, it’s comforting to see so much empathy in the world, particularly from total strangers.
“Another day of me crying on the Internet for strangers,” a comment reads.
