We are now living a life of terminal disease and it's ramifications in my husband. I work in a church. I see and hear life and death stories every day. Our culture encourages us to believe that life is pretty and good and 'should' go the way we want it to. Sigh... that is FAKE NEWS. Take note. Fake news is deliberate misinformation. It is eye-catching and fabricated.
How we love and live as a couple now is no different than how we were taught as children; to use the ethical principal of the Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". We use that moral philosophy to guide us. And as the Boy Scouts would say...we will be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. We must continually come back to those principles, over and over and over. They are the light in those tough moments of sadness and confusion. They are the guide we 'choose' as husband and wife along this PD journey.
