My hubby and I have been married almost 40 years. Three months after our wedding, he was in a tragic auto accident which left him a paraplegic. I never thought of leaving. I stayed by his side and we worked through all of the trials of our new life. He became quite independent and was able to continue working in his business. We were blessed to be able to adopt 2 children and we have 4 grandchildren. We were able to do some travelling and had a good life in spite of all of the challenges.
Approximately 5 years ago, my hubby was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. He was approved for a kidney and received a transplant, but his health declined and he was forced to retire. I am now a full-time caregiver! There are days I get very frustrated and I have very little time to do anything for myself, let alone go shopping, so Amazon and online ordering have become my best friends.
My point is...when you truly love someone, you stick with them through better or worse, in sickness and health. It saddens me to see couples who have very little commitment to those vows. When the going gets tough, they jump ship! A lot of people have praised me over the years, including my husband. And, of course I would be remiss if I didn't mention that without our faith, we could never get through all of the trials and challenges each day that we face. And if I lose him, I will be totally lost. But I am here until death do us part. I love him always and forever.
