The Promise

I met my husband August 1984, he had just come out of the Army (82nd Airborne). It was destiny for us. Our eyes met for the first time at my job, where he was visting an associate of his. We felt an instant connection. We were inseperable. We did and still do everything together. Twenty Two years later I got real sick. I was in the hospital with severe anemia, over exhaustion, and malnurished, due to a surgery that I had done. I was in really bad shape. I used to black out and get these shaking attacks that used to leave me so weak that I could not function. My husband and I prepared for the worst, since the doctors could not pinpoint the exact cause of what was happening to me. As time went by, I was just getting worse. I was really scared and puzzled that after all the tests that I went thru, nothing was found. I was finally admitted to the hospital and treated with iron IV and food IV and many vitamins. Nothing worked my condition was unchanged. My husband broke down and cried so hard and could not stop. He did not want to accept that he was losing me. He took my hand and made a promise to me. He promised that he would be the one to make me better. He said," Honey I promise I will make you better, please just trust in me. I did love and trust in him. He started buying fresh fruits and veggies, w
making me shakes made of fresh fruits and taking care of me. It was very hard for him taking care of me at first because I was throwing things up after I ate them. My stomach was so small and closed that nothing agreed with me. He never gave up. He said I promised to make you better and thats what I am intending to do. He continued to nurse me and never gave up. I since then have gotten better and I feel and look great. I love my husband. He is the greatest person ever. He is my best friend and I asked him the other day, Honey do you love me? He said yes I do, forever.........I promise. We are going on 23 years of marriage. I would marry him again in a flash, I consider myself the most luckiest woman "alive". My husband saved my life, so when he promises me something, I always believe him.
I love you Henry...........................Your wife Jacqueline
