Here's a chapter that discusses the challenges faced by a couple when one of them has Cystic Fibrosis - a chronic, genetic illness that affects the lungs and breathing. It's very scary when you can't do anything to provide the safety and security of the girl you love and being madly in love you want to do something because you feel the same things as your beloved wife.
Actually, we were forced to be "engaged" because Lynn might lose her insurance and that would threaten her life. Treatment can cost thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars per year. I now say that she was my wife but we never had a wedding or a marriage license. People with Cystic Fibrosis fall in love just like everyone else.
