How I met the bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh

Every girl dreams of marrying a prince some day or so I am told. Very few want the frog. Even fewer believe strongly enough in themselves that they can change the frog from a toad to a prince.

My wife however not only believed it she is still working on it diligently each and every day. It all started many years ago in college. I was in a wheel chair due to an accident that had occurred during my younger days as I spent some time in the armed services as a medic.

I was in Germany in 1989, on maneuvers in a training area known as Hohenfels Germany. This particular day we had been very blessed to have passed our courses with superb performance. My First Sargent, First Sgt. Hardy, asked that I drive him to town for supplies for a party. He wanted to reward the men for their efforts. All was going well until we became lost on the way back, and using a topographical map took a wrong turn that would change my life and his forever.
