Leta's Story

Life I married another SMHS gradutate, Harry Stewart (72). The first time that my sister, Gwen, met him she told me that I was going to marry him. My response was "No way, he's not my type!" I was very wrong! Harry is the sweetest, kindest and most patient man I have ever met. He has a very gentle, positive and optimistic nature. We have a very true love and deep relationship, in spite of his MS and my diabetes. I want you to know that after we had dated a few months, Harry told me not to get hooked on him because he was a "free spirit". I was not worried because I had a deep sense that he was the man God had intended for me to spend my life with. A couple of months later, he proposed. Harry depends completely on me now as he is fully disabled from the MS.We have been most happily married since 8-2-80. We have been most blessed by God. This is not the life that I had wished for, but it has been an even better one than I could have imagined. I think that as we go through life that we are molded into the people that we are meant to be. Harry and I know what true love means. Harry had a set of seizures in July 1997 that left him with a brain injury and stoke-like synmptioms. He managed to recover pretty well and w...Expand for more
as hit with another seizure in 2002 that put him into acute respiratory distress syndrome and than onto a ventilator. There he developed MRSA pnemonia that was also resistant to Vancomycin. He was close to death, but made it. ;-) We have had so many people show us great kindness and love. We are truely grateful! My wish is that we all would grow and learn and love in the best way that we are able. We live our life in this way. Harry attends an adult day care 4 days a week and is with his 86 year old Dad on Wednesdays. I work in the lab of a medical practice during the day and spend my nights and weekends with Harry, our dog and cats. We have numerous friends and family members that enrich our lives. We are members of Forest Hill Church and greet one Sunday each month. Life is good. In closing, I would like to say that "attitude is everything!" and that you can rise above difficult circumstances. I know because it has happend in our lives. Please keep going and strive for the best and you will not be disappointed! May the Lord bless and keep each and every one ouf you! My best friends will tell you I'm a little silly or crazy, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as quiet and reserved.
