Top Highlights
“My imprisonment turned out to be a delightful liberation to love more fully than I had ever known. We found the chains of confining circumstance to be, not instruments of torture, but bonds to hold us closer.” (Page 32)
“We would trust the Lord to work a miracle in Muriel if he so desired or work a miracle in me if he didn’t.” (Page 3)
“To put God first means that all the responsibilities he gives are first too. Yet sorting out responsibilities that seem to conflict is tricky business.” (Page 20)
“but the loneliness of the night hours is because I did know her” (Page 30)
“It is you who are whispering to my spirit, ‘I like it, it’s good….’ I may be on the bench, but if you like it and say it’s good, that’s all that counts.” (Page 60)

A very short but wonderfully-written book. Robertson McQuilkin reflects on his wife, Muriel's experience of Alzheimer's, and how her disease brought them closer together over a twenty-year period. Before succumbing to the effects of Alzheimer's, Muriel hosted a Christian radio-show and spoke at Christian meetings. Before leaving to care full-time for Muriel, Robertson was president of Columbia Bible College. A truly eloquent reflection on those simple words "'til death do us part'.
