" MY HUSBAND, ME AND OUR ".

Being on this site just over 3 years now, I am pleased to give my friends on here, a brief description of my husband and our matrimony.

Briefly, my hubby and I, are from two different countries. He was born in Egypt, from a Christian family originated from Italy, a settled generation there, since very long ago. He is a degree holder in: 1)- Mechanical Engineering, 2)-Waste water engineering and 3)- a Master degree in Environmental Engineering from Delf Uni, in Holland. He had left Egypt, in his late 20s, due to religious discrimination and had settled in USA, where he had worked for some well known companies. Thereafter, he was appointed by the UN as a Consultant Engineer with the WHO.

We first met in a party, during his official visit in UK. While, I was visiting my uncle there. We got acquainted during a party and it was just a flirt at first sight, I was very young with no marriage intention and I was hesitant too, due to the gap of age between us. We parted at the end of the party. He had left after his mission in UK and I, after sometimes, came back to my country Mauritius, for my work, being a professional French teacher. But fate or destiny wanted us to meet again unexpectedly a year later, when I was appointed by Air France, in Madagascar. Coincidentally, He came there too, on his UN mission. We found each other again suddenly after the church service, but this time, he didn't want to loose me again. After his mission, he came to my country to meet my parents and to fix our marriage which was celebrated 4 months afterwards. This was his first marriage as well as mine.

After our one month honeymoon, we had to travel as my hubby had to resume his missions in several other countries, scheduled by the WHO. We've been in lots of countries in Europe, Africa and the USA and Canada. But for his retirement, he had preferred to settle in my country, where we are residing now. Unfortunately, I have had miscarriages a few times before but God has lastly blessed us with a beautiful baby girl. Our is now 22 yrs of age, studying Psycho-Neurology at the university in France. We have had a beautiful, decent life all through. We were fondly in loved with each other.

Some years back we had encountered some differences due to his advanced age which has provoked an intense spousal jealousy and possessiveness towards me, though I'd tried but I could hardly support. Our divorce was filled but my husband refused to sign it. Afterwards and for a certain period, we had lived separately, he, in an apartment and me in my house. He couldn't bear it, he felt so detached and desperate and lonely.
Parkinson started affecting his hands, eventually, I couldn't let him be on his own totally, so I brought him back home and came to a mutual agreement in sharing our residence, having my own freedom and my own respected life too.

Though, he has a private home Doctor and a nurse for his checkup and medical care, we also have a house maid and a gardener but my presence at home is much more worthy than anything else for him. Now, he feels more secured, happy, peaceful and accompanied too. I do my best to help him in my own way and I've pledged to do so until his last day. He has always been a very careful, respectful and loving spouse, he had always advised me calmly with respect and he had done all his best for me in everything during our matrimonial life together. He dearly loves our and caters for all her needs for a good living and for her higher education abroad. In return for all of his kindness, his goodwill, his care and his being noble-minded towards us. I do not regret caring and helping him in my own way, at his last state of life. I've pledged to do so until his last day in this world. I pray God to bless him always and even beyond his time.

This is a brief account of my small family and my kind of husband. Below are some photos of us, hope they will please you. Thank you so much for your read and views.
Sincerely,
Lisa.

Hank hi,

Thank you for your wonderful comments on this blog of mine, am so pleased reading from you always. Your comments are so meaningful with a bit of more info which grace your comments too Hank, and it is very much appreciated really. It's true with age, things change, specially in men when his wife is much younger than himself !!, but we have to cope with that and be patient too. At times their illusions drive them mad to an extent as well. Just as it is in my case but I let it pass because of his illness also, as you may have read it on my above blog.
Thank you for your wonderful compliments Hank, they are very so pleasant. Thank again and I wish you all my best.
Sincerely,
Lisa.

LakeWalker, hi Sir,

You are always welcome to my blog and I thank you so much for your kind visit and for your wonderful words all along. Your comments are really heartfelt, I do appreciate your kindness and your thoughts too. Yes, LakeWalker, it's not so easy, at least for me, to put my husband in a nursing home. I really don't have the heart at this. The way he would feel in there may destroy him quicker than expected but when at home here, he feels at ease, more comfortable, secured and happy. I make sure of this too and I don't regret doing so as well. Thank you and thank you again for your appreciation Sir. Yes, we fortunately can afford a home Doctor and a nurse for his medical care, this is at least something which I can do for him at this stage of his life.
Thank you also for all your kind compliments LakeWalker, they are very appreciated as well. I wish you well and all of yours always. Have a great day, God bless you all.
Sincerely,
Lisa.

Boogie, my dear friend, hi,

Am so glad reading from you again on this special blog of mine. It's a way to tell how life isn't easy at a certain time but we should take it lightly and give out the best we can. It's a way first of all to satisfy ourselves and to make the others happy too. When there's a Will there's a way!!. Thank you for your wonderful compliments dear Boogie, I do appreciate them very much. Am really happy being able to give such care to my spouse at the moment he really needs it and I don't regret it at all. I do the best I can for him and he appreciates it very much as well. He always tells me and I quote: " I appreciate all your devotion to me in my needs, I pray God to give you the best after my afterlife. He will rewards you indefinitely for your kindness to me." Unquote.
I do all I can from my own Will, Boogie cause I won't be able to see him suffering more in his last stage of life, I know what I do isn't easy for every wife but for me it's a pleasure doing it.
Thank you again my dear friend, I wish you all my best and may God bless you always.
Sincerely,
Lisa.

Spirtiwoman dear, hi,

I warmly thank you dear for your visit and for your delightful comments as well. Thank you also for your appreciation of my special blog too. Yes, it has been a wonderful life together until he's been affected ill-wise at his advanced age. But he has been a good husband all the way through our married life and he really deserves my kind attention now at his last stage of life.
The best thing he does now at this stage, is to appreciate my efforts and my way of help in all his needs. Am happy for this too eventually. Thank you again for your nice compliments Spirtiwoman, I do appreciate it as well.
I wish all my very best to you and all of yours.
Sincerely,
Lisa.

Life passes by us, it always contains the good and bad, the love and the heartache. It makes life all that it is. How we endure, how we choose to see things, and how we handle each circumstance determines who we are and our worth.
There can be no bed of rose without the thorns
I truly enjoyed your story
