What does caring for an Alzheimer’s patient for 17 years look like?

A native of Georgia, Lami left her country to look for a better life in Catalonia when she was 27 years old. Right around that time, Titon's Alzheimer got worse and brain cancer took the life of her decades-long husband.
When Lami became Titon's caregiver, she never thought she will be with her for the next 17 years. Lami had minimum experience caring for people, but a great sense of duty and a giant heart.
In all those years, Titon and Lami went through many phases: Titon became aggressive at times, and hyperactive at others until she slowly stopped talking and moving. By then, Lami knew how to read Titon's cues better than anybody else- one scare at a time, one sleepless night at a time...
Titon these days eats like a 20-year-old and sleeps many hours. She makes sounds as if pretending to talk sometimes, stares at the horizon, and giggles randomly. Like with other Alzheimer's patients, one keeps wondering to what extent she is aware of her environment and the people who come near her...It's hard to tell, but she undoubtfully reacts to Lami more than to anybody else: the fruits of 6 full journeys a week together for 17 years.
Lami thought about quitting multiple times, especially when Titon kept waking up in the middle of the night multiple times for 6 years. Sleep deprivation tested her limits. But her faith made her stay. She felt that God gave her a sense of purpose by caring for Titon. But now every year that passes is another year where Lami puts at stake her future: her life with her soon-to-be husband and her dreams of becoming a mother near her family in Batumi, Georgia.
