The sound of ice clinking against a glass, grasped in the frail women 's trembling hand fills the white noise. While silence fills the room the warmth of the sun shines on a familiar face. She was beautiful despite her age. Her eyes beamed as if she was fifty years younger which are fixed on the not so young man beside her. He was aged, but in a fine wine type of way. He is a gentle man who 's hands are worn from many years of handwork. The way he looks at her, it is something special. It looks like she is the only person that has his full attention. When you are able to hear her soft voice, the gentle mans eyes begin to smile. Just from a glance of the elderly couple you would believe that an eternity of love was shared between. I bet they …show more content…
From this day forward a promised was made that their love was going to last an eternity. No matter the circumstance, tears, laughs, and fights this was going to be their forever. They just didn 't fall in love, they were made to love. On those long days when the grime and dirt covered him so thick and the stress of life could be seen in him from a mile away. Or on the worst day of your beautiful love 's life and you know that a little piece of her will forever be gone. But, those rough days would be followed by the joy of finally getting hitched. And using all the money saved to buy the house on the corner that she passed everyday and said it had the "right amount of character". This was just the beginning of the next sixty four …show more content…
The gentle man still looking at the lovely lady to his right like it was the first time they had met. The silence of the room had been filled with the hearty conversation between the two love birds. And here I sit everyday at a little round table across the room. I watch with a teary filled eye the women I have loved for the past sixty four years. She doesn 't remember me nor the children she raised. She hasn 't for almost a year now. The doctors say I will just confuse her even more if I try to explain who I am and to just let her enjoy the life she has left. So I sit here and watch the love of my life fall for another man who is equally as sick as her. I know I can 't blame her or the aged man sitting next to her, but instead the horrible disease that took her from me. All that I can do is remember the endless moments that we shared starting at the diner in my favorite small town. So, everyday I come to visit and hit rewind on our life together, through all the good and bad. Because once upon a time I made a promise that I would love my wife for

    The short story, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love” by Raymond Carver, invalidates the struggles and the lives of women, especially those that have dealt with trauma and abuse. The lack of empathy for Terri, the lack of recognition of abusive relationships do nothing to prevent or provide education on domestic violence, and the absence of support marginalize women. Terri, Mel’s second wife, was in two consecutive abusive relationships. She had lived with Ed, a man that “loved her so much he tried to kill her.”…

    The Crow in the Woods The Crow in the Woods by John Updike is unlike any other story I have read before. The author does an odd but wonderful job in describing in detail the thoughts and surroundings of an average married man. This story meets course goal number seven as it enhances the students’ understanding of the value of holistic thinking in making informed judgments and in applying values as they become increasingly conscious of what is at stake if we fail to understand the relationship between human culture and the environment.…

    Romantic Love Summary

    • 1031 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Incest has been a taboo topic of paradoxically irresistible interest for thousands of years, from the Greek gods and goddesses who made love with each other’s family members, parents and children to the modern-day cases of fathers forcing their daughters to procreate for them that disturb and intrigue the public mind. In the case of romantic love between parents and children, “Little C” by Martha C. Nussbaum suggests that, disturbingly, the difference between romantic and parental love is tenuous at best, and easily corruptible. The idealized selfless love that is often seen as the epitome of romantic love is oddly congruous to parental love, especially when parents put the happiness of their children above their own wellbeing. Normally,…

    Having arguments with your mother isn’t a rare thing, nor is living far away from her. There are many pieces of literature in which mothers and daughters don’t have the best relationship. In Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s book Arranged Marriage there are two stories that stood out to me with this particular theme. In both “The Word Love” and “The Maid Servant’s Story” uneasy relationships between mother and daughter cause distance and pain for both. In the story “The Word Love” the narrator is living with a man in which her foreboding mother does not know, and she does not allow the man whom she is living with to answer the phone in worry that he’ll pick up and her mother will hear a man’s voice.…
