Things have been rough much of the time since my last post. Besides the lockdowns and all the COVID stuff, my wife was stricken with PVD (Peripheral Ventricular Disease) that was characterized in part by intense leg pain. Because of the stuff going on around her, she was not comfortable going to the doctor. For two years, she struggled with pain and mobility issues because of it. I was helpless, but I tried to do what I could to make her life a little bit more tolerable. Things worsened gradually throughout those two years, until her Maker took her Home in November of 2022. Earlier this year, the Good Lord was very merciful to me, and brought someone to me in the midst of my grief (that had gone on for a good two years). Specific things had to happen at very specific times, or we still wouldn't know each other existed. She has proven to be a precious Gift, a widow of 3 1/2 years, an RN of 34 years, and someone with whom I've been very comfortable with (and her, me) from Day 1. Because of what each of us have been through, we understand each other. I have been very happy since meeting her. As time went on, I asked her if she'd do me the honor of becoming my wife. She said "Yes", and we will be getting married in December. My life has completely turned around. God brought me an Angel once before, and called her Home last year. This year, He brought me another one. As with all things He does, it's perfect! I have been Blessed, indeed!
