Zvisinei, zvakatora mwedzi gumi kuti vanachiremba vazive kuti airwara nei uye zvakatorazve makore mashanu kuti vanachiremba vokuLondon vave nechokwadi chokuti aiva nechirwere chacho. Pashure pemakore mapfumbamwe Gary aberekwa, ndakarwadziwa chaizvo Louise paakaberekwa achiratidza kuti aitova nedambudziko iri kupfuura hanzvadzi yake.

Vanachiremba vakandiudza zvine mutsa kuti “vana venyu vose vane chirwere chinonzi LMBB * uye hachirapiki.” Panguva iyoyo chirwere ichi chainge chisati chava kunyanya kuzivikanwa.

Imwe ongororo ichangobva kuitwa inoratidza kuti munhu mumwe pavanhu 125 000 muBritain ane chirwere ichi kunyange zvazvo vamwe vakawanda vangangova nacho asi chisina kunyanyisa.

Ndichangoroorwa, ndakataura nemumwe weZvapupu zvaJehovha uye ndakabva ndangoona kuti zvaaitaura chaiva chokwadi. Asi murume wangu aisafarira zvachose. Basa rake raiita kuti tigare tichitama saka ndaisakwanisa kupinda misangano. Zvisinei, ndakaramba ndichiverenga Bhaibheri uye ndichinyengetera kuna Jehovha.

Aigara achindifonera paaiva nezvaimunetsa uye ndakakwanisa kumubatsira kunzwisisa dzidziso dzokutanga dzeBhaibheri. Makore mashoma Louise aberekwa, ndakarwara nemultiple sclerosis uye fibromyalgia.

Mwanakomana wangu akafara chaizvo pane imwe nguva paakabvunzwa nomutariri wedunhu kuti, “Gary, unodii kuva piyona wenguva dzose?” Mashoko iwayo akakurudzira Gary uye muna 1990 akagadzwa kuva piyona wenguva dzose.

 Gary akaitwa oparesheni muhudyu kaviri, yokutanga yakaitwa muna 1999 uye yechipiri muna 2008, asi Louise aiva nezvinetso zvoutano zvakanyanya. Akaberekwa ari bofu uye pandakaona aine chigunwe chechitanhatu paimwe yetsoka dzake, ndakabva ndaziva kuti aivawo neLMBB. Kuongororwa kwaakaitwa kwakaratidzawo kuti dzimwe nhengo dzake dzomukati dzainge dzakakanganisikawo. Kubva paakaberekwa, akaitwa maoparesheni akakura kusanganisira mashanu akaitwa muitsvo dzake. Anewo chirwere cheshuga saGary.
