The greatness of her love
She wheeled him into his room at the hospital after giving him a shower. She walked with drenched clothes, but giggled at the thought that the shower nozzle slipped from her hands. She was exhausted, and her body was sore, lifting her husbands leg was too much of an effort considering it was nothing but dead weight. She hardly thought of the times before his spinal cord injury only because she couldn’t remember how life was then. He on the other hand was constantly worried about her, he hated that she took care of him so much and dedicated her time, effort and strength to make him comfortable but whenever he asked why she did it she would always reply “because i love you”. Not once did she complain of how tired she was, she was always in smiles and it seemed like what she did had no effect on her she always said “im the luckiest woman in the world”
I always loved seeing them at the hospital, the amount of love they had for each other. His helplessness and her dedication, it makes you wonder how far one will go. He couldn’t move at all on his own, she was his arms and legs. He was smitten by her love an she was dedicated, working full time and taking care of him. Through the months he started to get better, he gained back sensation and movement in his arms and took his time to work on his upper body, and if you ever asked him he would say, “i do this so she doesn’t have to”. Though he would never walk again, he was determined to be independant with the limbs he had.......
I just wanted to share this story, and give her some sort of recognition, not just her but all women that go through the same thing.
