Vows<\/b> (will insert a number later when I can count how many vows I have written)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From now until our obituary we will have each other.<\/p>\n
In sickeness and in health,<\/p>\n
tied together as one.<\/p>\n
I will rest when we are tired.<\/p>\n
Even if our head cannot meet a pillow,<\/p>\n
we will pause together.<\/p>\n
I will figure out how to get us nourishment<\/p>\n
when we aren\u2019t able to tolerate the concept of food.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From now until our obituary we will have each other.<\/p>\n
In sickness and in health and in sickness,<\/p>\n
tied together as one.<\/p>\n
When you tell me to brace our body,<\/p>\n
I will wear the brace and someday I will learn to not question you.<\/p>\n
You pick our mobility aids,<\/p>\n
I will withhold society\u2019s judgement.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From now until our obituary we will have each other.<\/p>\n
In sickness and in sickness,<\/p>\n
tied together as one.<\/p>\n
I will hold your hand as we wait for test results.<\/p>\n
Make room for each of us to grieve.<\/p>\n
And make room for each of us to celebrate.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Most of all,<\/p>\n
I vow to keep updating as we go.<\/p>\n
One set of vows can\u2019t cover our lifetime of growing and changing together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
