Where Credit is Due

Hi folks,
Steve's message about caring for his wife for twelve years got me thinking.
Throughout these past eight years my wife has also cared for me, and has been the rock that I have been able to lean on and count on. I can only guess how difficult my having myositis has been for her to cope with, and she has done it bravely and with a great deal of courage. When I have faltered she has picked me up and guided me to safety, and her steadfast love for me has humbled me.
I see a lot of me's in this posting, and really I wanted it to be about my Dianne. We will be married for 42 years tomorrow and I am grateful for every minute that I have been privileged to spend with her. She has given me her unstinting love for more than 42 years now and I'm not sure that I would have survived my encounter with myostis as well as I have without her. Every day I wake up I thank God she is there beside me, and for the depth and power of her love.
I am a very lucky man.

Kind Regards and Be Strong, Ed.
