In Sickness & Health.....I'm on board.

Picture

I am VERY excited about this next series of posts for all of you! 

OK, who am I kidding?!!  I am actually beyond elated & appreciative because I believe we are tackling a topic that NO ONE has quite yet done on a website - Love & Chronic Illness.....
from the boyfriend/spouse/caretaker perspective!!!!!

You will be hearing from Justin Daniel, Steve Silvia, John King & a gentleman by the name of Jud.

All four of these men are in love with women who have a very serious chronic health condition called POTS syndrome.  All four women are dear to my heart & at vastly varying stages of illness.  You will hear from a guy who is newly dating, a 'fiance', a husband whose wife took a turn for the worse & finally another husband who whose wife took a turn for the worse & then the better!!!!

I have NO IDEA what they are going to say!!! I am going to be setting up phone calls & email interviews with these guys over the next two weeks & then I will post as they share!!!  Let's all be patient as my goal is to provide quality blog posts for you - meaning it's going to take some time (0:

I am thrilled about this b/c we are all going to be learning together the 'real world' perspectives of men who have 'remained' through sickness and health - and everything that entails.

While we are waiting, I am going to share an interview from Men's Health News (I will post shortly after this one).  Bill Rancic (from Guiliana & Bill & other very successful ventures) discusses his 'Tips on what you can do for a sick partner'.  I thought his tips were invaluable!!  Also, just to give you some insight into my own head, I am a HUGE Bill Rancic fan.  Yep, big big fan of him as a 'person'.  He has every single one of the characteristics that I am personally looking for in the love of my life (above all 'consistency' in work, friendships & loving his wife).  So, I tell some friends that I hope my own 'Bill' is standing across from me some day (0:  Matter of fact, I think I will do a blog post just about Bill - why not!  Thanks Bill for all of your insight, for being who you are and loving that wife of yours to the depth that you do!!  


Enjoy your night everyone!
