Ok, ok, I said that nothing is as good as a love story and didn’t talk about a *love* story. So here goes: Mark and Giulia meet the first week of college and it is love at first sight. From those first days, they become inseparable. They’re young, in love, and full of dreams for a big, full life together. After college they moved across the United States to California for their first big jobs. Soon after they find out that they’re expecting their first baby. Life is everything they dreamed of! So Mark cannot make sense of the seemingly overnight change he sees in Giulia. They don’t know it yet but their lives are about to be marked by psych wards, medication, and a lot of grit. “My Lovely Wife in the Psych Ward, A Memoir” by Mark Lukach is one of the most beautiful examples of a love and loyalty. My gratitude takeaway from Mark & Giulia’s story is “partnership”.
