Things changed when Leigh-Ann became ill.
Firstly, there is the physical stuff.
I can't hug her whenever I want. She is in pain and I have to ask her permission first and then go gently. Sometimes I cannot hug her at all because it will hurt too much.

It is a big responsibility looking after someone in Leigh-Ann's condition and it can be stressful. I am always looking out for her whether she needs it or not.
There is also the worry. Unless you are a very positive person it is difficult not to always worry about the "what if".
This is our relationship in a nutshell. Hopefully it is different to yours but for us it is our "norm". It is what it is and we love it.
Leigh-Ann gussied up nicely, (for her lovely man, Steve) what a lovely dress and I see the Spanish colour theme coming through the bikini, as well - keep it up Leigh-Ann ;o) xxx I miss all those vibrant colours, I seem to have fitted back into the British subdued colours without even realising it - time for a visit to Nerja methinks. xxx
ReplyDeleteSteve you are doing a fabulous job. As a nurse I know hoe difficult be looking after a sick person but also how rewarding it can be. You look as though you are both having a fantastic time and thankfully you are able to make memories to store for the future. Leigh Ann continues to look fabulous. Love to you both. I'm glad and relieved your honeymoon has gone smoothly. Maybe a trip to her beloved Nerja next. God willing. Lx
ReplyDeleteHello Leigh-Ann, Hello Steve. Mary and Paul here from England. We met at the Spanish group, Leigh-Ann, and have a holiday home opposite where you lived before you met Steve. We met Steve a couple of times when we were out and about here and saw you both and out and about too.
ReplyDeleteIt's some months since we were last in Nerja but on Friday, after a few days here we went to Cosmopolitan for dinner and, having not seen you, enquired after you with Michel. We are just so horrified and so very sad to hear what has happened to you, one so fit, so young, so lovely. Oh how we wish there was some way to change things for you. And how brave you are and what a wonderful husband Steve is! Congratulations on your wedding. Such a lovely thing to do for you both. We have both read all through your blog and are humbled and in awe by your suffering, your honesty and your courage. We didn't know you well, but you always added laughter and brightness to our holidays in Nerja whenever we saw you. Our hearts have been touched by your life. Thank you.. With our most sincere wishes that your pain and suffering are not to great and that you can enjoy what time you have with the little pleasures of life with your new husband and your family. Mary and Paul Green
Steve having gone through this myself and nursed a sick husband with the same cruel disease that leigh-Ann has you are doing such a wonderful job. Xx
