True Love
It's not all too often that we hear a happy story involving Huntington's Disease but I believe this one counts. From the Greeley Tribune:
Bob Rumsby held both of his wife's hands tightly, looked into her eyes and professed his love to her.He did that 46 years ago and he did it again Monday afternoon at the Windsor Health Care Center.
Rumsby, 69, knows what it means to stay with his wife, Sue, through sickness and in health.
"I believe in that," he said.
The couple celebrated their 46th wedding anniversary by renewing their wedding vows in a far different place than the church they were married at in 1959...
Rumsby said his wife suffers from Huntington's Disease, an inherited degenerative neuropsychiatric disorder that affects the mind and body. A sixth-grade teacher for 20 years in Fort Lupton and Berthoud, Rumsby said his wife quit teaching when diagnosed with the disease in 1989...
As health care resident Sue Thornton released one of the balloons that lifted into the blue skies following the ceremony, she said: "That was marvelous. It's like getting married again. True love stands the test of time."
