that's true. but it hurts me sometimes when i hear some of my family talking about other people like ...for example, a young couple and then one became crippled and they feel bad for the one taking care of the person. i understand but...what about the cripple? they have feelings too, and i should think that when they took those wedding vows of staying together through sickness and health, that they meant it.
