I want all of you, for ever, you and me, every day. Will you do something for me, please? Just picture your life for me? 30 years from now, 40 years from now? What's it look like? If it's with him, go. Go! I lost you once, I think I can do it again. If I thought that's what you really wanted. But don't you take the easy way out."

No, see, that's a really moving part, but that's not the part that makes me lose it. It's the end, where she finally remembers him, then forgets and freaks out, and it becomes clear to you that he does the exact same thing every day; reads that story to her, gets her to remember it, has five seconds of a wonderful feeling with her before she forgets again and freaks out and tells him to fuck off because he's creepy and doesn't know her.
The guy has never left her side once (well, except when they were young) and isn't even really "admitted" at that home for any good reason. Yet he stays there, puts up with doctors who tell him to fuck off, relives the story of his relationship every day and goes through the feeling of his own wife screaming at him like that just for five or ten seconds of love and she even asks, "How long do I have?" before slipping away again.
Then when he lays down with her and, right before they both fall asleep and die, she remembers him again.
Fucking tears me apart every time.
