Greetings to you.  Thank you for reading what I hope touches your heart, because it touches mine all the time.

This is about my wife.  This very precious woman not only became my wife almost ten years ago, but about four years ago, she became my caregiver as well. 

Not too many people think about how meaningful the two simple words "I DO" really are.  Every day, I am reminded of how much my wife, Jen, really loves me.  While I suffer from a terrible disease named MS, my wife and children are suffering from having to see MS in action through me.  Jen is working two jobs right now, and I haven't had a job in three years. 

If it is giving me my daily shot, Jen is there to do it for me.  If it is transporting me in a wheel chair, it is Jen who is there for me.  She is always there for me, no matter what.  She deserves so much, but unfortunately, I cannot give her the many different things I would love to give her.  She just does so much for me and our children, it is time to tell her that I acknowledge what she is doing and I appreciate it so much.  She often tells me to relax during the day and not to do anything in the house, because she will get it all when she gets home from work. 

Jen knows that if I even try to do things around the house, often times I end up going backwards with this disease that robbed me from living a life I always envisioned living.  But now I have to see my wife doing things I should be doing. 

It is very hard to see her mowing, raking, shoveling and so many other chores.  It's like she just can't relax due to me and our circumstances.  She takes me to the hospital at times of flare-ups and takes me to my doctors for my many appointments with many different doctors.  She is everywhere all the time, and always does so much that she scares me.  It always seems she somehow manages to put thirty-six hours into a twenty-four hour day.
