Three years into their marriage, Judith Fox's husband, Dr. Edmund Ackell, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease.
Over the course of the next ten years, Fox watched as the man who used to perform surgery, fly planes, and run universities, forgot how to turn on the coffee maker, place a phone call, or remember what his wife had told him two minutes earlier.
Artist, photographer and entrepeneur, Judith Fox provides a rare glimpse into living with the face of Alzheimer' s in this pictorial and poetic tribute to her husband, Edmund.
While the details of I Still Do are personal and unique, this deeply candid story of illness, aging, partnership, and loving is universal.
