My Wonderful Wife
When I had the massive stroke 31 years ago the doctors and my family wanted to “pull the plug”. My wife of 8 years would have none of it. For the past 31 years she has loved me and cared for me as no one else could. The stroke left me quadriplegic with only slight use of the right arm and hand.
I am a big man, 6’3” 200 lbs. Angie is 5’4” and about 115 lbs. She is now 64 years old and still cares for me. She washes me from head to toe. She rolls me over to do my back. Then she dresses me. She transfers me to my wheelchair and after I’m in the chair she will wash my hair.
She prepares and feeds me breakfast and dinner, gives me water thru my feeding tube 4 times a day, and gives me my medication throughout the day.
On top of this Angie somehow managers to do the food shopping, the laundry, mow the grass, shovel snow, clean up dog poop, and take care running the household.
Angie does all this by herself without any outside help. If this is not true love, I don’t know what is.
