She Was The Girl I Loved And Married.
59
I will never forget holding her in my arms . She was always a beautiful girl, and in so many lovely natural ways. She was so beautiful that she made everything about life for me more colorful , and magnificent.
When I first saw her she was sixteen . Her body was perfect , like something I had never seen more beautiful before in my life. She is five feet two inches tall. God had made this girl perfect. It was like we were meant to be together in never ending embraces. She felt so good, and warm , and there was this electric between us. All of my life was meant for the moments we were in love , and in a love created by a perfect Heaven.
We have a daughter named Becky. Becky is disabled and can not walk. Joann has taken care of her for thirty five years. Joann was young with delicate arms. Joann's arms are much stronger today. She has lifted Becky and changed Becky's clothes, washed Becky, and has taken care of all of Becky's needs for many years.
Becky has always been protected by Joann every moment of her life. Becky has a spastic neurological disorder. Becky does not have the kind that causes shaking, however Becky's entire body can be often as stiff as a board.
Joann and Becky sleep together. When Becky is sleeping, her body is relaxed. Sometimes Becky's body is very relaxed. If she gets excited, her body stiffens up.
Changing clothes for Becky can be a very difficult job for someone who does not know how to do it. Everything you have to do for yourself , is exactly what Joann does for Becky.
Every moment of the day and night, Becky is observed and watched around the clock. Sometimes Joann will go shopping, and I am glad she does because she needs some time to be free of Becky and I.
A list is made and Joann drives to any store she wishes to go. I will watch over Becky. Becky will watch over me. I do not walk much, but I do watch over Becky.
Joann has clients, tax customers. She has done tax work at home for many long years.
Joann likes to cook and is a great cook. I also like to cook, but she is the better cook.
Joann has been Becky's caretaker and mother for thirty five years. Every time we take a simple ride anywhere together, it requires four lifting periods to do things out of our car as a family. It is a slow and gradual and careful process every time. And to be honest, Joann can take Becky in and out of our car better than I can.
In fact I have seen stronger men than I that would never be able to keep up with Joann.
Joann does not complain about what she does for Becky.
I suppose the best way I could put it all is this way. Becky's life is Joann's life, and Joann's life is Becky's life.
I wrote a book about Joann and Becky many years ago. Someday it will be published. There was a very important reason why I wrote the book that had nothing to do with money.
The reason why I wrote about Joann and Becky was that I do not want them to fade away like they never existed in this life. Love and sacrifice must mean something in this world , so I want them to have their piece of eternity, or for as long as a book would last in the human world.
What we do in humanity has importance. Sick, ill, and disabled citizens have never been about pity or sadness, or pain or suffering. They are about sacrifice, tolerance, courage, bravery, love, devotion, caring, pride, and humanity and much much more. They are about never ending struggles and never stopping in embracing challenges.
Joann and Becky are very important parts of my life.
God Bless You.

I wish men would only half acknowledge their wife's effort than you do. We wouldn't have all these divorces. Thank you for a wonderful hub and tribute to your wife and daugher.
She sounds like an amazing women.
You are a very lucky man. Many men do not marry well. Go ahead and get that book published, and share your story with the world.
