The dread of once a lively person loosing his/her memories is not a pleasant experience to have. You did a good job painting the scenes and drawing us in the emotions of the story. Romantic but sad, I was glad with the ending as you found closure at the end.
Nice work.
This story has a lot of anecdote, with a fusion of characters, my grandmother suffered from Alzheimer's and my grandfather loved her for over 60 years, so what better than a story to merge them into a single character that will represent the best and worst of that wonderful couple by the sea.
