Still Winning His Fight at Home
Submitted by Megan MurphyMy “one” is my husband, a retired and fully disabled Marine, now suffering from the degenerative effects of combat injury. Most recently, his diagnoses gave way to a new oneL Early Onset Alzheimer’s Disorder at the age of 39. While struggling to absorb this new diagnosis, he has given way to being more present in moments, knowing that he won’t always be able to. As if with renewed love, he has talked with our very young children, helped with household projects that will surround me even after his arms no longer embrace me, and continues to give back to other Veterans who are also struggling with the effects of combat. This man shows random kindness almost every day of his life, even while struggling through so much of his own. I am so incredibly blessed to call him mine <3
