Wes Ricks- In Loving Memory of Marjorie (Margie) Ricks Video

MY LIFE MY WIFE:
MY WIFE DIED OCTOBER 7, 2007. MARGIE AND I WERE MARRIED FOUR (4) MONTHS SHY OF 36 YEARS. SHE AND I SHARED MANY MEMORIES TOGETHER. WE TRAVELED THROUGHOUT AMERICA THOSE YEARS WITH THE KIDS AS WELL AND AFTER THE KIDS WERE GONE WE EVEN TRAVELED  MORE.
I REFUSE TO PUT MY WIFE IN A NURSING HOME OR TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE TAKE CARE OR TO BE HER PRIMARY CAREGIVER. I KNEW THAT NO ONE WOULD CARE FOR HER AS I WOULD. I WAS SEEING THIS DOCTOR AT THE VA MEDICAL CENTER UPON OUR INITIAL MEETING, THE DOCTOR SUGGESTED THAT I MIGHT CONSIDER PUTTING HER IN A NURSING HOME. I INFORMED THE DOCTOR THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO FORSAKE MY WIFE FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY OR LOVE. ABOUT SIX (6) MONTHS LATER THAT DOCTOR APPROACHED ME AGAIN WITH THE SAME THOUGHT OF PUTTING HER IN A NURSING HOME. I FIRED THE DOCTOR. I APPRECIATE THE DOCTOR CONCERN FOR ME. IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS, I WAS GOING TO PUT HER IN A HOME. IF I HAD TO DIE IN CARING FOR HER, SO BE IT.
YES, MAYBE I WOULD BE A HOUSE HOLD NAME BY NOW, HAD I PURSUED THE MUSIC AND ARTS. AS I INFORMED ONE OF MY NIECES, THERE IS A TIME AND SEASON FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY.
IN CARING FOR MY LITTLE SQUIRREL (MY PET NAME FOR HER), I HAVE NO REGRETS, AND I WOULD DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.
MY WIFE MY LIFE.
