Without beating around the bush, Dr. Morrow told me I was palliative with end-stage multiple sclerosis, a disease I’d had for years. But it was really the MAID death of a friend with MS in 2021 that prompted my own thoughts. People even paid me for my work, which helps with hefty pharmaceutical bills not covered by my health plan. We plan to have a few close friends and a family member with us ahead of time for bubbly, and my lifelong friend David playing viola. To this day, Dennis reiterates our wedding vow, to love in “sickness and in health.” His gentleness proves it.
