FROM MASSACHUSETTS
My husband was recently hurt on the job, he was getting out of his work truck when he slipped and fell. He broke one leg and fractured his left leg. He was always the first to be on his job, and was such a hard working man. We figured he would be out for six or eight weeks. Well after a appointment I took him to the doctors found a tumor. And told me that he has less six months to live. I than new what I had to do and it was to become my husband's caregiver. I take him to the doctors at least five times a week. When he needs to shower I bathe him. When he needs to be put into bed I do it. And I love every second of everyday because I get to spend it with the love of my life. I recently asked his doctor if it was okay that I took him to sea world, for one day. I was so happy because the doctor agreed because that's something my husband always wanted to do. The day was magical.
