Yes, he's doing much better, more so every day. We actually went to Barnes and Noble yesterday to look for heart-healthy cookbooks, and I was astonished that he was walking next to me into the building just a few days after he'd had a heart attack. It's been hard, and a terrible thing and a good thing all at the same time. It's spurred us to make dietary changes that we should have done long ago, and reminded us to take better care of ourselves, each other, and our relationship. So this New Year was very poignant and meaningful, and filled with gratitude.
I can read fics where they complete each other as fantasies, but I never believe in them. The ones that make me laugh and cry are the ones where they can stand on their own two feet, but they do it better with each other.
That's exactly how I feel about relationships in general, and H/D as well. And I loved how they worked better together in this fic than either one alone--how they individually worked better when thinking about the other. I really did love this story, how they each did some self-examination and made smart choices.
Thank you for your thoughts and your story. *hugs* It really did make me smile and laugh and let go of some tension, which I needed. He and I are both doing much better, and will continue to work on living healthier lives.
