My lovely wife and I have two wonderful daughters. For the past years, my health has not been well.

As a result of my declining health status, I have observed a stunning deterioration in the health of my wife.

Simply put, my health woes have taken a devastating toll on the health of my wife, who is trying to cope with her own silent fight with multiple sclerosis while trying to nurse me back to health.

I can’t begin to tell you how difficult everything has been for her.

If I could give any gift, it would be to give her a long, peaceful, restful vacation in hopes that this would maybe provide an opportunity for her to recoup, regain her strength and overall health, and become her old self again.

Of course, that is my prayer as well.
