Alex. I am truly blessed to have him as my husband. The third greatest
blessing would have to be my best friend, Lisa. She was the one who
told us that there was something wrong with Alex. I know that this was
a very difficult thing for her to do. At first I was mad at her but

an awesome thing to know that God has chosen me for this purpose here
on earth. ...
