He's more then wonderful. It amazes me still that no one snatched him up before me. Not that there wasn't any women in his life. According to my now sis-in-law there were MANY! (right hubby? Bet you are reading this before posting) She told me he had a lot of girl friends. I think I stunned his family - of brothers and sister and partners - when at the age of 57 he announced he was getting married. For the first time. But then - I'm fabulously awesome.
Remember, I'm over 50 yrs now, so I can say that, and not worry what anyone else thinks. Besides hubby thinks I am too.
AJ had a major stroke when he was 42 yrs old. Undiagnosed high blood pressure. Was in a coma and came out with right sided weakness, balance issues, and eye problems. Luckily he kept his ability to speak, understand and hear. Walks with a walker now. Yes, I married him after his stroke. Amazing thing about AJ is, not a lot gets him down - ever. People like him, and he likes them. He's a big supporter of groups, and found a life after his stroke in volunteering. He was living on his own for years before we met, and dating.
I'm not surprised those women didn't see what I see in him - because I believe Spirit ment for us to be together. And if they saw what I see, they would have changed that plan. :o I have never had anyone in my life so supportive. When we got married and I got very ill, I offered to divorce him because I said - he didn't sign up for me being so ill. Talk about being ill! His response was, 'no way, we are in this together, and we will get you well'. He's never changed that statement. Even when I went into therapies that he never heard of. If they helped, then he was for it. (Along with diabetes and high blood pressure, I was diagnosed numerous autoimmune issues). Amazing right?
With my THIS IS THE ONE! diet plans, AJ went along with them. If they helped me, he was for it. Though to be fair, he would question me on them, and then let me run with them. Actually I probably should have just run! His issue isn't food, eating or weight - his journey is a stroke. With this round of 'this is the one', he is much more comfortable. Expressing how I'm not just jumping in and all over the place, or throwing out all sorts of food. Even though I have carefully looked at our foods, found someone who could use them, and left AJ keep what he wants for those 21 days. AJ can see that I have changed in my attitude towards food and as he's said - I have put my ducks in a row.
Just so he doesn't get a swelled head..... he has trouble admitting when I'm right. Drives him crazy when I say, maybe you should do ______, or it's better if it's ______. And then later he finds out, either by himself or from someone else.... that I was right in the first place. I laugh, he growls. I love him.
