After My Wife Died, I Found A 4-Word Text Message In Her Phone That Hit Me Like A Sledgehammer

During the last seven years of my wife Maggie’s life, she suffered from neurosarcoidosis, a chronic autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks the central nervous system. Each episode of inflammation caused irreparable damage to her ability to function independently. The drugs she took to manage the neurosarcoidosis caused Type 2 diabetes, weight gain, water retention, diabetic peripheral neuropathy and electrolyte imbalance. They also suppressed her immune system and affected her kidneys and liver.
