Ever known someone who has had Alzheimer's disease? It's a terribly slow and sad way to die. In Nicholas Spark's The Notebook one of the main character has this disease. She doesn't know her family, but even more importantly her husband who has loved her since they first met as teenagers.
Spark's took me on a magical journey into true love, the hardships it endures, and how to overcome them. This young couple experiences more than their fair share of challenges. The author lets you know the characters so well that you will be left teary eyed for one person or the other.
The Notebook, however, is not all sadness. This book, I believe everyone should read. I think it would inspire us all to live lives that show that special person we love them 24/7...even if they don't know who we are anymore.
Are you wondering what happened to the woman with Alzheimer's? If so, I encourage you to pick up the book and see for yourself. I must tell you though that the movie is quite a bit different than the book, so don't let that fool you. Be ready for a story that will change your definition and outlook of true love.
