My wife had an awful cough for weeks when she asked me to take her to the hospital. She doesn't like hospitals. It was a very bad lung infection and they rushed her to surgery. Pneumonia, made worse by previously-unknown Lupus? I spent three weeks with her in the hospital and it was very hard.

We have a long recovery ahead, but she's home now. Just in time for me to give her this beautiful piece from Amanda Cifaldi.

I love you, Nicole. Thank you for your strength, thank you for your everything
