"Happiness is not a goal...it is a by-product of a life well lived."--Eleanor RooseveltBernard "Bear" Henson is a blessed man. He is happily married to the love of his life, he co-owns a successful business, and his grown son is desperately in love with a wonderful partner. But Bear knows all too well how precarious that happiness is, so he lives every day with love in his heart and gratitude for everything he has-especially his husband Richard Brightman. Richard has been HIV-positive for thirty years and every new day is a gift.When Richard becomes unexpectedly ill and is rushed to the hospital, Bear braces for his beautifully constructed life to come crashing down. A hard-won life full of ups and downs, illnesses and setbacks, love and anger, and a lot of regret for how certain things went down. Certain things involving Bear's alcoholic ex-wife Debbie and the start of Bear's relationship with Richard. But the past can't be changed, only remembered and studied.As Richard fights for his life, Bear reflects on the last thirty years of their entwined lives. College days, his shotgun wedding to Debbie, his unexpected feelings for Richard, and the proudest moment of Bear's life: the birth of his son Gabriel. Bear's life with Richard is woven with love, heartache, regret, joy, and everything else in between. They've overcome every obstacle that's come their way, and they'll overcome this new illness, too. Period. Bear simply isn't ready to live his life without Richard in it. No library descriptions found. |
