You are so beautiful, inside and out and I have so much awe and respect for you and your positive look at life. <br />And your hubby, what a soldier! <br /><br />I can't say that I understand what this must have been like. In our marriage, I was always the one with hospital stays (appendicitis, gall bladder, childbirth), and none of those were chronic illnesses. All I know is that with any trial, any pain, any hurt or fear, the gospel gets us through. I can tell you already know that. Your testimony is strong and beautiful. Thank you again for writing this down.<br />I really do hope that one day we can meet in person and I can give you a ginormous hug and thank you with spoken words for your wonderful example and friendship!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857711562597839692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4982495311070974364.post-21886743924545168362011-06-09T08:02:06.671-07:002011-06-09T08:02:06.671-07:00As hard as I am sure that it was to remember all o...As hard as I am sure that it was to remember all of those details and put it into words...you will be thankful that you did it.

My husband also has a chronic illness (although not as rare) and it is a struggle sometimes to figure out the best ways to support him as it is sometimes such a personal struggle for him. Thank you for sharing this chapter of your lives- I'm looking forward to more of your lessons learned.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906304401809606014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4982495311070974364.post-30823760341063398292011-06-09T07:11:18.903-07:002011-06-09T07:11:18.903-07:00Very scary uncertain times for you and your family...Very scary uncertain times for you and your family.

It's amazing what I have already forgotten.

I took us about five years to sort of renegotiate the balance in our marriage, but we persevered and got it right. <br /><br />Sounds like you've done the same.<br /><br />Beautiful written.<br /><br />=)Susan Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16049586085703324088noreply@blogger.com
