Jean Adams, a French footballer, has been in coma for 37years (since 17th March, 1982) - due to a mistake his doctor made while putting him to sleep for a surgery to repair a torn ligament.
His wife Bernadette, who he married in 1969 still stays by his bed till today.
A story of love. Of pain. Of tears.
Sometimes you think of life and you just wonder what is the point of it all.
Someone can be hale and hearty- with the world literally at their feet today- and tomorrow they are dead, or in coma or in some serious illness that completely changes their lives forever.
The interesting but sad part to this story is the said doctor and his colleague only went to jail for a month and was fined about 815 dollars.
That’s all.
For an error that has cost a man his entire life, cost his family a father and a husband and cost the world a great athlete.
I ran into the story this morning- and it really just broke my heart.
The wife tends for him, look after him, feed him and with the help of nurses and physiotherapists who come everyday- she’s able to bathe him and provide 24hours a day care.
No love I know beats this.
We will never know of true love- if things always work out and nothing tests our resolve.
Love is an action word.
Love is not just roses and vacations.
Love is basically giving up yourself and your life, if need be, for someone else.
That woman is a gem
And will always be.
