During the first year of our marriage, my husband and I faced a lot of challenges..2 weeks after the wedding, i found out something about myself that shattered everything that i believed in..good thing I was married or I would never have gone through that stage of my life alone..in November ‘06, my dad was diagnosed with recto-sigmoid cancer (somewhere in between the rectum and the colon, if I’m not mistaken) which came as a real shock to the family..because of this, I needed to attend to the needs of my parents first before my husband’s..after dad’s operation, I took over our small business for a while so that mom could take care of dad and come January ‘07, I took my dad to and from the hospital for his chemo therapy (5 days a month) and his radiation therapy (M-F for the whole month of March)..it was hard being a nurse but I did it out of love for my dad..come June ‘07, just 11 days ago, I got sick..I had a 39.6 - 40.3 degrees fever due to my swollen tonsils (which also had a lot of pus)..the price of the medicines were by the hundreds and I needed them 3x a day..good thing I got well after 3 days or else I’ll be in the hospital..whew!!! Inspite of all of this, I was so lucky because Ge was a very loving and understanding husband..he supported me during these trying times and never left my side..he never complained about anything..he understood when I told him my parents needed me, he helped me take care of dad, he took care of me when I was sick and even do the household chores for me (he did all the laundries!)..now, we are yet faced with another trial..almost a year has passes and still, a baby hasn’t been given to us..I am now under observation and will run a series of test for the doctor to know the reason why we don’t have a baby yet..I told Ge that I am afraid of all the apparatuses that they will use on me..all that he did was hug me and tell me that, "hon, kaya mo yan..dito naman si honeykoy eh..i love you!"…am I not the luckiest girl in the world?
