It is hubby's birthday!

Happy Birthday today to my amazing husband! Today he turns 47! I have had the honor of spending the past 14 of those years married to him! We have, together, shared so much! Tons of laughs and very few tears, we have shared stories, experiences, dreams, decisions, complications, business's, let downs, accomplishments.......so many things! We are so blessed for there is one thing we do not share.......the hepatitis C virus.
I have been fortunately blessed to have not shared this virus with ANY of my loved ones. I am so grateful to GOD for this blessing he has given me......and them!
I could not imagine what it would be like to watch someone I love have to en-dour treatment of this horrible disease. Just thinking about how my treatment might be affecting him and those around me brings about a completely different perspective for me.
Many times while on treatment you think to yourself.......why me? When am I going to get better? What side effects are going to complicate my world today? What if it doesn't work?
But this new perspective makes me realize this.....my loved ones are going through an enormous amount of grief as well...
As a Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister, Friend and Grandmother - I am always saying.....if I could save you the pain or discomfort; I would. In retrospect, it has always hurt me more to see the ones I love suffer than my own potential suffering. So now when I think of what I would do....how I would feel...what words I would say.... if it were someone else whom I care about going through this and I am dumbfounded. I have no idea HOW I could handle it.
Anyway..... I just want to thank those who love me and are continually supporting me through this and please know....I know it's not easy for you either.........
