Today's blog, is dedicated to my amazing husband. Like a heaven
sent angel who has no wings, my dearest has the patience of a saint. He must have
very broad shoulders to succeed in working full time, taking care of me, and just
completing building a disabled friendly home especially with my needs in mind.
He takes everything with a pinch of salt, and remains calm when others would
possibly be tearing their hair out. How he manages to achieve all he does is
beyond me. When we fell in love and married, he knew I had Gaucher disease, but
neither of us could have imagined what the future held in store, and by
some cruel twist of fate, I would be diagnosed at age 44 with Parkinson's. Many
spouses would run as fast as they could from such a situation; but not
my man. He steadfastly stands by my side, sometimes understandably with a
pained expression as I repeat myself for the umpteenth time, or take forever to
do something simple as making a cup of tea, breaking yet another glass or dish,
and am now far from the capable young vibrant woman he married. Yet he never
complains, and stays cheerful and ever hopeful, supporting me in every way possible,
encouraging me to write and continue campaigning for Gaucher and Parkinson's. I
told him he never need buy me another present, for he has given me all I could
possibly want and need. I have the best husband in the world who I cherish, a
loving daughter, and now a beautiful purpose built home which I would never
have dreamt of having in a million years. I have so much to be grateful for,
and despite suffering two diseases, I am truly blessed. Thank you my darling husband
for all the wonderful times we've had and the great memories we've yet to make
together. You are one of a kind, and I marvel at how after all these years you
still manage to surprise and amaze me; you continue to take my breath away. May
we have many years filled with happiness ahead of us. I only wish I could give
you even half of what you have given me, and take care of you, the way you look after me. You deserve so much more. I have always
loved you with all my heart and always will.
Happy Anniversary
I fell in
love with you a long time ago,
What future
held in store, we did not know,
My heart
beats faster, with every breath I take,
Together
side by side, with each step we take,
My chest
could burst, so full, may overflow,
Emotions
run fast, no way to make them slow.
Only one
man, holds the keys to my heart,
You held my
heart strings, right from the start.
Those
strings are strong, and never shall break,
Everlasting
are they, make no mistake.
There's a
place in my heart, only you can fill,
I’ve forever
loved you, and eternally will,
