Towards the end of of his life my dad had a lot of trouble communicating, was often quiet, and sometimes you'd wonder if he was still "there." But then he'd make a "dad joke" and I'd feel so much better. I know one time my mom and I were with him. Mom was trying to see if he was comfortable and asked "Do you feel funny?" and Dad said "HA HA!" lol

They've been together for 43 years and she's in a position very similar to Greg's now. I have so much respect and admiration for Nancy. Caregivers like Nancy are angels on earth

I have a very similar story! My parents had a difficult time conceiving, and then my mom got diagnosed with MS. She was told she shouldn't get pregnant, so they finally looked into adoption, but the adoption service immediately told her she wouldn't get a baby because she 'wouldn't be able to take care of it' 🙄 then they went to get IVF, had me, and, surprise, she's been a great mother to me, and my parents have been married for 34 years.

My 97 year old great grandmother has a lot of memory issues. I saw her at her nursing home a few weeks back and met a couple of the other residents at dinner time. Before I left I asked them “so you’re Fred and you are Judy right?” Judy replies “yup, but we don’t know who she is!” (Pointing to my great grandma). Great grandma replies “I don’t even know who I am.” We all bursted out laughing. Sometimes you just have to make the best of your situation.

When you're sick, it means the world to have someone by your side; someone who will never give up on you... and even when you wanna give up on yourself, they won't let you❤ this is the True meaning of LOVE.

That's wonderful. I'm glad that you have that kind of love and partnership in your life. I'm no advocate for marriage by any means, but I gotta admit, whoever originally wrote those vows were onto something. To devote yourself completely to someone for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you both part is one spot on depiction. One that's also really underrated. Sadly, we've heard them so much that it's lyrics have lost it's impact and meaning. When you find the kind of love that's unabashed, unrepentant, audacious, unconditional, fierce, untamed, unfeigned...you just know when you got it. And gurl, you got that ish. 💕👍

At 11 years I still feel at married to him as the day we said I DO.

When my body was shutting down in 2012 and I was waiting to see specialists, my husband was out enjoying his “extra curricular” activity. I discovered it in January 2013. He moved out a few months later, said he wasn’t spending the rest of his life taking care of me. That was after 15 years and 2 children. In June of that year I was diagnosed with cancer in my spinal cord in my c-spine. October was the surgery and I have been left with nerve damage that affects my mobility. I get flare ups, similarly to someone with MS (one of my specialist tells me) that knock me out for extended periods of time, especially if I get sick. Thank God I have amazing parents who have been able to help my children and I. I LOVE the attitude and sense of humour this couple has 💕 This is what in ‘sickness and in health’ looks like. Wishing you many more years of love, humour and making memories together 🥰🇨🇦

I have MS, my first attack was when I was pregnant with my son, I suddenly lost feeling in my right thumb, by the next morning I was numb on my right side, they first thought I’d had a mini stroke, but after 14 nights in hospital 3 MRIs, a lumber puncture and a heap of blood tests, they diagnosed MS! My son is 18 in November so it’s been that long! I now need a walker for my mobility, I can’t walk without it now due to my poor balance, coordination, strength and vision! My husband passed away 12 years ago and my sister stepped in as my carer, I’m so happy she did, she cracks so many jokes with me all the time! We are never sad, which is the best! It is so wonderful to see that Nancy and Greg have such a great sense an humour! Just magical! 😊💗

Greg is the greatest teacher and was a mentor for me throughout middle school. He was probably 10 years into his diagnosis and had his share of daily struggles then. No matter how sick, tired, weak, or strong he was at the time, he never let it keep him from giving us 100% of him, his humor, or his love of teaching. I continuously see him outside in his garden and cannot pass without thinking of those times. Very special man. Very special friend to anyone he meets!

This reminded me of my grandparents. My grandma took care of my Pop alone the entire time he had dementia. She refused home health (and I wish she hadn’t - it’s admirable, but everyone deserves help and time for themselves) and did all of his care, 24/7, for about eight years. For about half that time he had no idea who she was, for about a year he couldn’t even sit up or speak. I’ve never seen love the way my grandma loved my Pop, she loved him so deeply his illness wasn’t even a factor. Or maybe it made her love him even more. That’s the kind of love these two have, and it’s such a rare and special kind of love, as cheesy as that might sound it’s true. Thanks for another great one, Chris.

If there are lesions, those are the episodes you didn’t notice. Good luck with treatment, they are making some exciting developments at the moment.

Right in the feels. I lost my dad last year from an MS complication. Watching this is like watching my dad and mom. He had MS for 49 years and my mom was his main care taker. A lot of his symptoms were the same. MS def has an impact on cognitive function. Thank you Chris for raising awareness. I needed this without knowing. My dad also had a great sense of humor, it is how we all coped. It will be a year since he passed in a week. I miss him so much, it hurts. But he was loved and my mom was the best. Seeing this helps a little. Thank you.

My mom, uncle and grandma all have MS. Just like Greg, my mom was a teacher and after her diagnosis, it got too difficult and she retired early. It’s been very difficult, especially since I was 7-8 when she was diagnosed. I’m 21 now, and it’s definitely not easy and over the years, her health due to MS has been declining. MS has been a big part of my family since I’ve been seeing family members with it since I was very young, and since I have 3 family members with it (MS is a “rare” disease but it felt so common to me since this is all I’ve ever really known growing up) Nancy is such a pure soul and I know it’s not easy having a loved one with MS and all the hardships you go through. Bless them both ❤️

Wonderful, excellent interview!!

My grandmother had MS and passed in 2018. My grandfather was her caretaker until nearly the very end and passed in early 2020. Nancy reminds me so much of my grandfather - giving so much love with no questions asked. Making humor out of a very difficult situation and finding joy through it all. I had tears in my eyes the whole video. Love is a beautiful thing.

Thank you so much for including someone with MS. I feel very lucky to have been diagnosed when there are so many more options for slowing/stopping progression and a greater understanding of this disease. At my worst i was in the hospital unable to see or walk or use my hands (takes time but eventually it all came back) so it makes you thankful every day to still be walking and talking and driving and living independantly. And humor is so important, sometimes if you don't find something to laugh about you'll just cry. Again, thank you so much for including this!

True love right here. While I am not disabled in this way (I am disabled though), it takes a special person to marry someone and STAY with them if they are disabled. Sadly so many leave their spouse once they become disabled because it's to much for them. They don't think of their spouse sadly. I mean I understand it can be hard of course, but love is stronger than any disability. Also if you don't have laughter, things will be hard. Laughter helps you deal with it. I've gotten to the point where I can even laugh about myself. Live, love, laugh!
