Rog

I often wonder about the future and what it holds for my sweet husband. Day in and day out he lives with chronic pain. I see him hurting and it breaks my heart. I know we're both so disappointed that his back surgery has not been successful. I see him deal with his diabetes 24 hours a day and it's a constant fight to keep his blood sugars in line. He is doing everything in his power to stay healthy. He exercises 5 days a week to keep his heart healthy too.
I know what diabetes can do to you and the affects it has on your body. The toll it takes is horrendous. I'm so proud of him for doing his best even though he is so tired of it. His fingers are so calloused from checking his blood sugar for 45 years. He's beginning to have neuropathy in his feet too. It scares me and I know it scares him too to wonder what the future will be. I can't imagine my life without him. He's my rock, my hero and I love falling asleep at night holding his hand.
I pray each night and day that God will help him make it through another day without pain. I wish I could take it all away and suffer for him. I'm so glad I have an opportunity to show him my love and to support him in his life. And I pray we'll have many more years together to do some things we've always dreamed of doing.
I love you honey
