You have my word that...
Illustration
"You have my word that I will love you forever!" the young man whispered to his sweetheart as he placed an engagement ring on her finger. They were soon married.
In the beginning, their life seemed perfect. A son was born, and then a daughter. But then the young wife was in an accident, received a brain injury and lay comatose. The doctors offered little hope for her recovery.
Every moment the man could manage, he was by his wife's side. She looked like a porcelain doll. He brushed her hair, washed her face, talked to her, read to her and sang to her. And he prayed for her.
Months passed, and she seemed to make no progress. Her shallow breathing scarcely moved the blanket that covered her. Then one evening, the man felt her hand move slightly. Her eyes opened, and from that day on, she began to recover.
Much later, she said to her husband, "You were the light in my darkness. Love is all we had then, and it was enough."
