6. "Married for 32 Years. We were both very active and often commented over the years on how we couldn't imagine ourselves without each other. Around the age of 20, I was diagnosed as having a degenerative disorder.He was very supportive and I shared all of the information with him. Slowly, I began to slow down. But the first time I saw him in a wheelchair, his stare was all that remained. He then left. It felt like a knife in the heart. I knew that he would not look at me with pity/disgust and would never see me again without my disability.Talliloo
