Quote #209

Many people didn't realize it at the time [of the bus accident], but Emilio didn't know if he could handle something as emotional as that. Men are often very goal-oriented and problem-solving, even in their emotional life. My husband could have turned and run the other way, and I'm sure that many have done that. But Emilio became so supportive, I couldn't have asked for more love and support. I really would not have been the same without him. It deepened our relationship beyond what words can describe, because we lived through a very tough experience together.
