Wow!! I am reading this almost 1 and 1/2 years later and am astounded!!! One Temple marriage in March of this year (at Salt Lake Temple, Italy's still isn't done), three more brain surgeries (in July and August 2014), almost done with my BSN, many moves, heart aches, and disasters later....I cannot believe I didn't remember that statement!!! I am complaining while HF has moved Heaven and Earth to give me what I asked for...."an eternal companion and father for my children" "even if I had to go through hell to get it!! Yes, HELL, I am talking about pain, loss of faculties, loss of physical strength both permanent and temporary, loss of my constant north leading me home to my HF, and only knowing the way by following my eternal companions lead. To have been blessed w/him at the hardest time in my life was just what I asked for, a God send.
Believe me I know that I am not the easiest person to live with, we both have faults and perfections an can grate upon on anothers nerves, but we survived together....therefore we can rise together as well.
