I've been the groom in one wedding, the best man in one wedding, a groomsman in several weddings, an officiant at multiple weddings, and an attender at tons of weddings. In most all of these ceremonies, the bride & groom made a commitment of love to one another for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health. Each time they said it there was a huge smile on their face and they were absolutely confident that they would extend love and grace to their spouse in the face of health challenges.
However, it's unfortunate that we had to make these promises before we ever have to hold a vomit bucket for our lovely bride. It's a very sobering experience to watch the person you love the most face health challenges. I can't even imagine what it's like for a spouse to love their partner through life's final days. I have HUGE admiration for those people.
Currently Bonnie has "the stomach bug" and she's not feeling good at all. I really feel for her. I HATE having a stomach bug. It's so painful.
So, I'm just praying that I'll be the faithful husband that I promised I'd be in 1992 with my sweet white rented tux. She is surely worth it!
