Though Andy listened to the advice, and took in suggestions to tour some local homes, he never forgot the promise he made to Donna on their wedding day: “For better or worse.”
Donna is now 73-years-old and wheelchair bound, but to say she’s had a boring, limited life would be as far from correct as you could possibly be.
Thanks in no small part to the fact Andy loves her just as much as he did that day he asked her for gum, Donna’s been doing something rather extraordinary for the past three decades.
“I told them we would live a normal life,” Andy said, when asked how he’d responded to doctors.
We’re not sure if it can be deemed ‘normal’, but Andy and Donna have certainly enjoyed a special life since her aneurysm. Andy decided that rather than see her bed-bound or stuck in a stuffy room, he would take her on a world trip.
27 years, 20 countries and seven continents later, they’re still going.
