 I’m Glad I got Sick
 Twenty-seven years ago I got sick. The reason I can remember the date so well is that being sick is what ________  me to choose my future wife. She was just a good friend, but because she ________  to my apartment, brought me medicine, and made me breakfast, I thought for the first time “what a super wife she will  ________ for someone.”
 I took her out to eat for helping me  ________  the flu. After that we became even better friends, but still  ________ thought of marriage. A few months later I was going to  ________ a new job in the Atlanta area, so Cathy helped me  ________  boxes to get ready to leave. We  ________ a great time that day and had lunch together. Near the end of that day I________a few tears in Cathy’s eyes, so I asked what was ________  .
 She said, “I don’t know if I can live ________  you, you are my best friend.” I said, “I know, I’ve been thinking the  ________ thing.” That day we decided to get married and we have been married ever since. We have had our  ________ times, as many others have had, but we are still best friends!
 ________  I get to the family unit in my Health class and we talk about________  …I always tell this story. My students seem to love it because they learn that  ________ , sharing and caring about others is all that really  ________  in life, and that looks, money and other things are not important.
 ________the way, my wife is 12 years younger than me, and she is beautiful. We have 2 beautiful children, but we still have dates on ________ weekend.
 Cathy is the greatest thing that has ever  ________  me! She is a fantastic mother, and the best wife a coach could ever have. Thank God I got sick 27 years ago!
