A Bleg For a Good Cause…

… and no, it’s not for me. You guys have helped me out quite enough already.

Fellow blogger Leslie, from Leslie’s Omnibus, has posted the story of a Chicago police officer paralyzed in the line of duty. When he awoke after the accident that robbed him of the ability to walk and care for himself, his fiance married him, right there in his hospital room.

Takes a pretty special bond to commit yourself to a person, I’m thinking, especially knowing that the future holds a lifetime of pain, hardship and expensive medical care.

Now, 9 months later, he’s strong enough to stand beside her in front of God, family and friends, and pledge his love to her in the formal wedding she always wanted.

Read the story, and decide for yourself if they aren’t worth a little help.
