A touching video was filmed this month of an elderly man in Houston, Texas, dancing with his wife on her 80th birthday, even though she feared he had forgotten how to.
In the recording, his tearful family can be seen watching the couple, who have been married for 50 years, waltz.
At first, a family member can be seen helping the man up from a chair.
And after a few moments, he reaches his wife and surprises her with the best present she could ask for – a dance.
The duo start dancing and after a while their smiles turn to tears of joy.
A family member pushes the couple closer together and they can be seen kissing in a warm embrace before the video cuts off.
More than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s and one in 10 people age 65 and older has the disease.
