Three days before our dream anniversary trip to the Maldives, I had a stroke. While I was in bed in the hospital, unable to move, my husband called me… from the airport. “Postponing is too expensive,” he said, before hanging up. That call changed everything and set in motion a plan he hadn’t foreseen.
This happened three days before our anniversary trip to the Maldives. I was chopping peppers for dinner and suddenly found myself on the floor.

The knife fell beside me, and a strange numbness spread down the left side of my body. My mouth couldn’t form words. My thoughts seemed trapped behind fogged glass.
Jeff was there moments later; his face was blurred above mine. His voice was high-pitched but distant, as if he were wading through water.
