"That's my husband," I said to my friend on a beautiful summer evening. We were having drinks at a bar when I spotted John for the first time. He was handsome and wore a blue golf shirt that brought out his blue eyes. "If he doesn't come over here, I'm going over there," I told my friend. John clearly felt the same energy as I did because he approached me shortly after. By the end of the night, we both knew we had something special.
John and I spent the next four years together in a relationship I can only describe as a fairy tale. Yes, we had disagreements and hurdles, but the love, attraction, respect, and adoration we had for each other always outweighed the bad. He had this way of looking at me that would instantly change my mood, even on the hardest of days.
Just when we had picked out my engagement ring and talked about our timeline for children, everything changed. After experiencing some memory loss and vision impairment, he was diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. |
