We've got this - together!

I think everyone needs a wingman or a wing-woman. It's just a practical idea that works! I started out in life very blessed to have two wing-parents. Many years ago when I incurred an injury to my spine and my body decided to give out on me I was blessed - very blessed to have John, my hubby as my wingman. He stuck by my side while I lay day after day, month after month, year after year in that "king-sized bed" I began to call my home. He became my nurse, my doctor, my counselor, and so many titles I can't even remember. He saw me through the dependency of heavy pain meds as well as the agony of leaving them behind. Everyday I am more because of the support I have from this wonderful man I call my friend, my lover, my husband. He gave me the courage to push on to healthy vegan lifestyle and joined the program in support. Today, between the two of us, we are 80 lbs lighter and a whole lot happier. Like most partners we quibble, we don't see eye to eye on many things - but we are in this together and together we are stronger. As I have stepped into the realm of Chef and Instructor he has once again embraced a new role in my life - my Sous Chef. I can only say - "Thank you." Thank you for being the blessing you are.
