It takes two to tango. The man always leads and never let go of his partner's hand in the dance of life. Just like any other old couples, Marcos had always held Monica's hand despite what happens. The old couple had been married and living in their apartment in Buenos Aires for over 63 years. Life was great with each other's companionship.

Until one day in 2007 when Monica got diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Just as Monica became for dependent on her husband, it gave Marcos a new reason to live. Everyday, Marco feeds her for and hour per meal, change her diapers and accompany  her wherever she goes. Unfortunately,  Monica passed away in Marcos's arms in 2011.


Okay after reading this, some of you might not think that it's a touching story. But think back, would you have the patience to feed your future partner for one hour for every meal and change his/her diapers? Would you have the patience to take care of someone this sick? Well, I envy the way Marcos cared for Monica, how he never gave up and how he never hesitate. This is what we called true and undying love.
