I understand being attracted to strength, and those that seem capable of overcoming life's obstacles. I know the difficulty of withstanding the sights of illness, and age. But I find it interesting how I can have strong feelings of affection for someone in the weakest state of body, when pieces of their mind emerge reflecting what they once were; reminding me of my experiences with them in better days. Sometimes I have felt that this would never occur again, and that the fading of a person, was somehow helpful in letting them go as they near the end of their life. The disconnect you begin to feel, is perhaps helpful in breaking the bond. But the bond reemerges, in moments, just in time to remind you, of who it is in front of you.
