About My Hero
Where to begin? Do I start with, he'd give you the shirt
off his back? Or do I go into the way he is with me when I'm a
bit down with PD? Or!!!! Do I tell you about all the
camouflage paraphernalia...the guns...the ATV...the "anything" one
might need for turkey hunting? LOL Do I tell you that
he's yet to get his first turkey and that when he does, it will be
the most expensive meal we will ever eat!! Oooops, I
guess I'd better let that be his story huh? LOL
I will tell you that here's a man that prior
to the PC, would read the encyclopedia for fun and watch the
Discovery Channel (and still does) for entertainment. Now, he
will literally spend hours surfing the net for some of the most
"unusual" topics!!! And if he's interested in something, like turkey
hunting, he will search for every piece of resource material he can
find. In other words, he'll know more about the mating habits
of the turkey better than the turkey does! lOL I will tell
you, he has an ear for music and he's teaching himself to play the
piano. He can build anything he sets his mind to and fix
anything if he's so inclined.
Here's a man that calls me religiously
everyday at 11AM and 3PM just checking to see how I am.
A man who either cooks or cleans the kitchen every night. A
man who doesn't understand the concept of closing a cabinet door or
picking up his shoes out of the living room floor. So he's not
perfect...he's just human. If anyone should write a book, it's
Gary. A retired First Sergeant, he's not quick to judge, but
once he makes a determination, he seldom renigs on it. With
all that's happening in Iraq, Korea, Iran etc. etc. etc., he's very
good to talk to ...he helps me understand the what's and the what's
for and then I become as frustrated as he does.
Our marriage is by far not perfect, but
we're content to grow old together. He is the love of my life
and I know I am his. I have a vast respect for care
partners. You know who they are don't you? They're the
people who "choose" to stay in a relationship when a devastating
disease is part of that relationship. I got lucky...I got the
sweetheart of my youth back...how much better can it get?
