I WANT A LOVE LIKE THAT
The news just ran a story about a couple in downtown Lexington. They had a house fire this morning ... a bad one. It was significant enough that it shut traffic down. It was significant enough that it landed the wife in the hospital, fighting for her life.
You see, her husband was partially paralyzed due to a stroke. When she realized the house was on fire, she threw a wet blanket over him as he lay in bed, sat down next to him, grabbed his hand, and waited for the fire fighters to get there and rescue them both. A gamble on her part, but she wasn't about to leave her husband there to perish alone. She loved him enough that she was willing to die with him rather than save herself and risk living the remainder of her days without him.
