I’m sad that I could have done young things at college before being disabled

That's why I say "LIVE". I'm no longer the stud Marine and college football player, but still getting around (not well) but still do what I can the days I can. Life is what you make it in the present, not the past. Sure I wish I did even more before MS slowed me down but still proud of what I can and will do. I'm slower, less graceful but still keep trying and moving forward. It might take me 5x the time it used to take me to do it, but still doing it and finding ways to keep doing things. I used to be an avid outdoors man, so planning on switching to fishing where I don't need to walk miles in the woods. Still going to attempt to fly fish, might not be able to navigate streams as well, and I am likely going to get wet and fall some but will keep trying and will catch some nice trout and while eating them I will say, I kept going. Admit, some days don't do much, as a young man was always on the go. But not young anymore and will never be again. Keep living!!!

I still work, but my role has changed. I used to work as an operations support clerk but because of my walking and falling, they have moved me into an admistrator role.
I am now the Social Responsibility Administrator. A facny name for an HR support person.

Imagine how down and depressed your husband would be without you. Life does not turn out the way we imagined. Winners are able to pivot. Have a great day and stay tough💪🏻
