*I resolve to spend more time with my wife this year. Gentlemen, feel free to copy me on this one.
I would be in a world of hurt if it weren't for my wife. She doesn't realize it but she makes my life possible. Just the other day she said she doesn't see herself as a caregiver (while she was working on cooking whole food in the kitchen for 4 hours because of changes I need to make in my diet). She may not be a "caregiver" but her caring for me is what has kept me going this year.
DawnMarie has spent 2013 on the same health care roller coaster I have been on except worse because she has had to deal with me. She has been there from the beginning when we thought I might have pancreatic cancer to now...where we know I have ECD but we don't know if the treatment is working. She has watched me lose 110 lbs. first with envy and now with some fear. She empathizes with me when I am in pain and ignores my outbursts born of frustration and anger.
She rides with me to doctors appointments in Maryland and Connecticut, chatting to keep my mind off of the likely disappointment and then sits silently as we return because I am to depressed to speak. She hugs me when I am sad and answers all the health care correspondence that drives me crazy (my own medical billing expert). In short...she is amazing!
DawnMarie deserves more of my time and attention (positive happy time) then I give her. So in 2014 I resolve to spend quality time with her at least once a week. No Kids!
*Have you decided on a realistic resolution for 2014? One day left to make a commitment that could change your life!
