It doesn't MATTER what will or won't happen when you love someone. It's the closeness that counts. Buddy and I have been married 15 years - of that time, he's been injured 11 years .... I don't think the times BEFORE his accident were any better than the times we have had SINCE his accident .... The WORST part was when HE was afraid to try (and I'm sure that all of you have gone through that). I'm not sure if his problem was that he was afraid of disapointing ME, disapointing HIM, hurting himself, or a combination of all three, but it took me a long time to convince him that it didn't matter if anything happened or not .... I just wanted to be close. Well, it's GREAT when it does, doesn't matter when it doesn't and I love him just as much now as 15 years ago (well, it's ALMOST 16 years now). I didn't mean to butt in, but I felt there needed to be something said from the OTHER side .
