Be Prepared to Bleed

Part of you pours out of me in these lines from time to time.
My husband Ned just had part of his thyroid removed — a benign nodule had swollen up there — and he has written very eloquently about it. This was the first kind of surgery we have experienced as a couple (together for 30 + years) and even though the cutting and recovery happened to him, we were steeped in the fear and waiting together. We’ve been through autism and other woes, and I’m happy to the depths of my soul that we seem to be stronger than ever. I’m beyond grateful to God and fate and the randomness of the Universe that put me together with this wonderful, unique man; that he is alive and I can be with him for more time. I was head over heels in love with him way back at Penn in 1981, and in 2013 I still am, even more.
