Reply #118: Read your post with tears in my eyes

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

I'm glad your marriage is still valid, but I'm crying for one of our patients here in Arkansas. He called because he's being flown to a hospital for serious surgery. His partner for many years was not allowed to go with him, but is driving to the hospital far away just so he can wait nearby to find out the outcome. These two gentlemen have the kindest voices (I've only talked with them on the phone), and their concern and love for one another is evident. But because of the stupidity and hatred of the people in my state, Bob can't be with Bill at this critical time.

I hope that, in my lifetime, all loving couples have the right to marry.
