I love you.

You know I don't ask much of you because I realize you aren't entirely well. I don't need much. I'm already old and I've spent my life alone. I can handle myself by and large. All I need from you is a listening ear, someone to hold, maybe a hand with housecleaning once in a while, and some very basic stability. I don't even care if you work outside the home or not - you talk a lot about contributing money to the household but I've never asked you for a dollar. Supporting us both on my wages is not ideal but obviously we can do it. Your health is not that great so maybe you shouldn't work a job anyway. We talked about that. I love you and I don't care about anything else.

The one thing I need from you is a choice. I will care for you in every imaginable way until one or both of us is gone, if you simply choose me. You know what the alternative is and you know deep down you deserve more. Please take it. I love you.
