For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for August 30, 2008

Transcript:

Elizabeth: Iris, you've taken such good care of Grandpa Jim. He's so lucky to have you! Iris: We're both lucky, dear. Elizabeth: But, so many things he can't do for himself now - and you're with him, looking after him day after day... it can't be easy! Iris: It's not easy. But we made a commitment - just as you did today - and although it's not easy, this is all part of loving someone - with all your heart... and, with all you have to give! It's a promise that should last a lifetime. It defines you as a person and describes your soul. It's a promise to be there, one for the other, no matter what happens, no matter who falls... for better or for worse, my dears... for better or for worse. This concludes my story... with grateful thanks to everyone who has made this all possible. Lynn Johnston.
