In sickness and in health

Remember these words? I never dreamed that in my mid-fifties this clause would kick in with such a vengeance (must be retaliation for transgressions in my former life). There aren’t enough words to express just how bittersweet it is being married with ALS. Certainly my lovely wife deserves better.


Throughout our marriage, time and again, she has been the rock. When we heard the unbelievable news and we picked ourselves up off the floor, she kicked in to high gear with positive attitude and support. To say that some days have been difficult is putting it mildly but we have been a team, surprisingly (or maybe not) and thankfully, we are an even stronger team. I count my lucky stars each and every day for my soulmate.
