About this Blog

Jay & I celebrated a 32nd year anniversary in April, 2009. Our relationship has been blessed by the strength of God's gossamer thread of love, which has bound me to my husband since we were 14 and 16, just kids. The grace of God has seen us through so many crises, for which we are truly grateful. We are blessed beyond our comprehension. Jay was sent to protect me, to guard me from dark forces, and to be my helpmate in life as my Parkinson's continues its slow descent. He is teaching me how to ask for, and about accepting, help. I in turn keep him from leaping into the deep black abyss of the depression he battles. We found out we work best when together. No wonder we paired up so early in our lives!
