Lou Van Houten attempts to shave himself in a mirror.  Since he has begun to lose his sight, he has had a lot more difficulty doing simple everyday tasks.  His wife of 61 years often has to shave the places that he has missed when he is done.

Roz and Lou share a quiet moment after Roz had finished shaving Lou, one of her favorite daily acts of love.

Lou gets his eyes examined to determine whether he will need a second procedure.

Lou awaits another set of eye drops from Roz.  He gets eye drops about five times a day.

Roz drives to the Annapolis Hospital for her shoulder surgery and Lou’s two eye appointments.  Lou used to do all of the driving until he lost his sight, but now it is one of Roz’s responsibilities.

Lou waits for Roz to be released after spending 14 hours in the hospital for her shoulder surgery.

Lou watches Roz intently as she suffers a lot of pain after surgery.

Roz and Lou Van Houten lay in bed before they must get up for another day filled with “acts of love”, as Roz calls them, when they each have to compensate for the other’s disabilities.
