Caregiving, Marriage, and Another Hymn That Sustains Us

In this episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I celebrate 39 years of marriage to my wife, Gracie, while reflecting on the roller-coaster journey of nearly 100 surgeries, chronic pain, and a lifetime of caregiving. From dancing with Gracie at Madison Square Garden to hearing her sing hymns in an ICU hallway, I share how beauty and joy can break through even in the hardest places. As part of my Hymn of the Week series, Gracie's powerful voice brings "Breathe on Me, Breath of God" to life—a reminder that faith, music, and love still carry caregivers through the toughest days.
