Living in a lie

If you think your spouse or boy/girl friend is annoying and disappointing, wait till you hear what i had to go through today.

No I am not going to talk about my marriage, but this is a story that I will always remember from now on. It is about how unfair a person can be to his or her own spouse. The person you took a vow with, for better or for worse. To me, whatever she did, it is worse than having a spouse who cheats with another person.

So this is a true story about a woman who made a mistake in her past and had to create one lie after the other. As a result of her mistake, she was unfortunate enough to be infected with HIV. She knew about it when she became pregnant on the same year. A year after she delivered a healthy baby girl, she met a man whom she married not long after their first date. Their first child was conceived and delivered the next year. The child has HIV positive.

Being the person she is, she refused to accept that their HIV positive child needed treatment. She insisted that their child was fit as a fiddle. She was constantly in denial.

Just recently they had another baby. It has been five years since they got married. And the husband still does not have a clue of her status and their eldest child's. The worst thing is, he has no idea that he could also be infected with it.

Until today, I finally had the chance to meet the husband. Just imagine how he reacted upon receiving the news..

May God grant you the greatest miracle ever.
