My wife is paralyzed, so I haven’t been inti:mate with her for four months. Out of deep frustration, I left her alone for ten days to go on a date with the younger sister of my colleague. And then… the unexpected happened.

of my past mistakes still there, but no longer defining who I was. The road ahead wasn’t going to be easy. There would still be days of doubt, of pain, of questioning. But for the first time in months, I felt like we were both ready to walk it, side by side.
