The article I chose for today is about the love between a husband and a wife that is strong enough to get through anything. The article is written by the husband, and he describes the accident his wife was in about fifteen years earlier. In a car crash she was paralyzed from the waist down. This creates some unusual problems that occur on a daily basis, like bowel movements in her sleep, the inability to have sexual intercourse, sores that took months to heal, leg spasms, and even flying on airplanes or going into public bathrooms. Even though the lives of both of them and their children have been altered completely, the husband is still so in love with his wife and talks about how proud he is of her when she finished a marathon in a wheelchair. Their family has changed their lives, but make sure not to be afraid to ask for help. They are grateful to have their mom in their lives and don't fret about what she can't do.
The determination and support in this family shows what love truly is.
