The couple went through many hardships to get here today

At the age of one and a half, my wife lost her father, and her mother raised two brothers alone, bearing such burdens until the day she met me. From the day she lost her father until she married me, no writer or poet could describe the suffering, unhappiness, and calamity that befell her family. Many times I think to myself, I am also an experienced, miserable, unlucky person, but it is nothing compared to my wife.

After her father’s death, her mother took care of her siblings while taking care of her, not enough to eat, let alone study. Mother goes to work, brothers and sisters don’t know who to play with, only know how to be friends with chicks and puppies. By the age of going to primary school, my wife started to get sick, at that time the district’s health care was not yet developed. My wife had trouble breathing and coughing, but no one knew it was a congenital heart disease, fortunately they told me to have surgery or it would affect my life. At that time, listening to the story of the mother-in-law, the mother and daughter could only hug each other and cry.

His wife didn’t know much at that time, but she also imagined the disease she was carrying, where was the money for the surgery. Money for the ride has to be borrowed, meals on the train also have to be asked, let alone surgery. When they got home, some people said they couldn’t save them, they gave them whatever they wanted to eat. When I decided to get married, my mother-in-law took all the photos and everything related to the disease to burn. I hope that from here on, my daughter’s life will turn to another page. Indeed, we now have a nearly two-year-old boy.

His wife had a heart surgery ten years ago, also had an infection of the incision, blood clotting, how many consequences of the incision affect now, sometimes life is also “thousands of pounds hanging by a hair”. Yesterday, I took my wife to the doctor, her blood was normal. Health is concluded by the doctor as good for people with heart disease who have given birth.

My wife and I had known each other for less than a year before we got married. When it comes to marriage, I don’t think about the difficulties that I’ve experienced in the past three years, just think about falling in love and then getting married. My soon-to-be wife also told my family that although she had a heart attack, she still worked as normal as anyone else. I also went through a shock at that time, so the families on both sides did not judge, but still cultivated.

Now looking back on what we’ve been through in three years, I feel pretty strong. On the day of pregnancy, the wife has to manually inject under the skin of the abdomen, nearly 200,000 VND per day, injected throughout the pregnancy. A few months pregnant, the couple had to go to Hanoi because the wife opened another valve to the pulmonary artery, the doctor said they had to live together, but now they can’t operate. When I got in the car to leave, hugged a big bag of medicine and then sat down to eat a cold lunch box, I had to turn my face away to avoid my wife seeing my tears.

I secretly thank the families of both sides, who have helped the couple.
