	1 Recommendation of 25

I had friends years ago who were a couple in their late 60s-70s. Is it possible that what Dr Wahl found could have helped them? Perhaps, but no one will ever know. Both have been dead since the early 90s. The wife spent her last 15 years going slowly from a robust, active woman who had most of her chores done by 7 a.m. to an immobile victim of MS. She was her husband's at-home patient till the end. One of the habits they had acquired in their marriage was reading to each other. The husband made good money as a summer resort business owner for 5 months of the year. They spent the rest of the year camping from Maine to Florida as the weather suited them. Instead of TV or movies, reading to each other was their main entertainment. In her last years, he did all the reading. When she died she was unable to move voluntarily or speak an understandable word. Besides seeing what that poor woman went through as she deteriorated and her sorrow at being a burden to her husband, my big takeaway was total admiration for his unflinching devotion to his bride. As it says in 1 Corinthians 13, "Love bears all things." The husband died in '94, within a year after his wife. Message 28460231
