My grandma told me I didn’t have a grain of good sense, marrying Gabe…she was a practical woman.

I didn’t listen…I was young, enamored, and would have crawled across broken glass to be with him.

And I remain wildly in love with him, we’ve been happy as pigs in mud for decades–though we’ve had an issue or two just like everybody does.

But when you get used to something it becomes a non-issue–we call it ‘wedded bliss’; ohh… I may as well be honest…our issue is NOT like everyone else’s, not even close.

The ‘problem’ only arose when Gabe retired and we applied for disability benefits for him.

Turns out, being invisible doesn’t qualify as a “disability” (if others can’t see you, they’re disabled); I tried explaining to the powers that be: “he wasn’t invisible when I married him 40 years ago”; we’re mired in the appeals process~
