    This is not what I missed out on but what my husband has. In the past 3 years he has missed out on having fun or relaxing on his vaction days because he has used them to be by my side during numerous surgeries, being by my side in the hospital and taking care of me when i get home. I t has been so hard on him watching me go through all of this. He deserves so much. I could tell you alot more about how much he gives up. He is a wonderful Husband and Father.
