I Made A Choice To Stay Home

I Read Somewhere That Mitt And I Have A 'storybook Marriage.' Well, In The Storybooks I Read, There Were Never Long, Long, Rainy Winter Afternoons In A House With Five Boys Screaming At Once. And Those Storybooks Never Seemed To Have Chapters Called Ms Or Breast Cancer.

And I Cannot Tell You How Much I Appreciate That Because The Days Are Long, The Road Is Hard, The Trials Are There And I Never Know When, I Have This Little Gray Cloud That's Over My Head, When It's Gonna Start Raining On Me Again. And I Do Need Everyone's Prayers. But I Also Believe That We're Here For A Purpose, And Mitt Is Prepared.

Mitt Doesn't Like To Talk About How He Has Helped Others Because He Sees It As A Privilege, Not A Political Talking Point.

When You're Used To Being Healthy And Strong And Vibrant And Everything And Then - Bang - Overnight You're Desperately Ill, It's Frightening.

In Marriage, It's Always That Give And Take And Rebalancing That We Have To Do In How We Can Help Each Other. But, I Have Been Known At Times By My Sons, That Is The Name That They Call Me-the Mitt Stabilizer.
