Laying in my bed getting a bit of rest before night meds and Im comfortable for the first time in nearly three weeks. My body, heart, and mind are sore and suffering as I see the love of my life suffer unbearable things, things that no one should ever have to go through. My limbs and knees are aching because Houstons legs gave out on him as we tried to get him off his wheelchair to his seat on the plane. Christine and I tried our hardest to hold him up, completely dead weight, as a kind man and airline hostesses rushed to our aid. Our eyes were hot with tears by the time we got to our seats. When we landed in SLC Houston told me he couldnt feel his feet or legs and but fortunately the airlines helped us get him off the plane. Men had to lift him out of his seat and into his wheelchair. It took me, Christine, my dad and mom, and two of their neighbors to get him from his wheelchair to our car at the curb. He just had no strength left in him. When we got home my dad and his neighbor Reed literally lifted him up the steps while he was still in his wheelchair. Houston temporarily lost the function of his legs because he had been sitting upright in a chair for a few hours. Thats how weak he is. Its heartbreaking. I cant and will not share publicly the worst of the hardships Houstons endured recently because it wouldnt be fair to him and it is too hard for me to recount. Our focus on taking care of Houston is so acute I have 50 individual unread text messages and over a hundred social media notifications that I just cant respond to, its too much. I can hardly write this status. My point in telling you this is not to be a bearer of bad news or be a downer or say woe is me or anything. I want to offer a bit of unsolicited advice so skip ahead of you dont want any. As we sat in the airport waiting to board I kept noticing young couples in their 20s and 30s, happy as can be at the beginnings of their lives together. One couple had little twins, another a tiny girl, others just the two of them. They all looked content with their budding lives walking side by side and worrying about day to day occurrences and an occasional fit by a toddler. I had no envy of them, just a wish and desire for them. My hope for them was to not take those simple things and sometimes day to day mundane stresses for granted. I wished they would love their spouse or significant other with all they got. Our lives can change with the blink of an eye and God will most likely take you down a path you werent expecting. Please dont let little things get you down or get in the way of your relationship. Love your darling and always look for the good. Xo.
