Funny old world ,i thought my relationship was fire proof but alas a little more pain to endure. I understand how hard it must be for all those fit people out there struggling to cope with a partner who has an illness such as ours. They say there is always a Jack for Jill.Hope you find your understanding and loving Jill.
I only know that I love my husband more now than I ever did. He is my inspiration, my reason to be, and every day, as I see him coping or sometimes not coping with this horrible condition, I am so very proud of him.
I always loved his tenacity and determination and now he demonstrates those strengths in barrow loads.
Sometimes he is very sad and sometimes I am, sometimes he is angry and sometimes I am. But what I always know (and I believe he does too) is that it is Parkinsons and Lewy bodies that make us angry and sad and never each other.
We are well able to laugh at some of the situations it presents us with and that always makes me feel we have stolen a march on it.
We loved one another before Parkinsons so why would that change when each of us has had to grow all our strengths in order to meet it's demands. We are both stronger and wiser people than we were previously.
Don't let Parkinsons steel your love it is a horrible brutal bully. Fight it together and you will always be the winners.
