I remember being in the rehab facility after the accident and I finally had some time to myself to think. I kept trying to look ahead to figure out what the picture looked like in the future. I couldn’t picture much which was pretty frightening, but there was one concern I had that stood above the rest and that was how you would end up seeing me.


I had this gigantic fear that you would stop seeing me as your husband and begin to see me as a patient. That your nursing skills would take over and I wouldn’t be able to touch your heart as much anymore. Thankfully, three years later, and that’s still not the case. There’s not a whole lot for me to be thankful for, but you still seeing me as your husband is definitely one thing, I have an immense amount of gratitude for.
