I am thankful for my best friend

I am thankful for my life mate Mark, who has been a great sense of support from the very beginning of my MS journey. When I had a bad episode and was bedbound for four months, he not only worked all day but came home and made dinner and brought it up on a tray for me. My back pain was so bad that he had to help hold me up in the shower so I could wash. He went outside and hung a birdsuet hanger in the tree so that when I laid in bed, I could watch the birds eating the suet from my window. He's been here for me every step of the way. He drives me to some of my appointments. He listens to me when I need to talk. It makes having MS so much easier by having someone in mycorner. He always tells me "I have your back". We've been together for 25 years and its good to know, that if my MS starts to progress again, that I have him in my life. Previously he had to have three surgeries within a year of each other, and I had been there for him. I mean, it was hard, taking care of him, I had to walk upstairs without my canes, to bring him his food. There were times when my fatigue was overwhelming, and yet I kept on and never told him how wore out I was. It's what you do for someone you love, it's how you show them that you have their back. The world is easier when you have two to shoulder the burden.
