So, watching this episode tonight, which aired a while back, in 2012. Young couple honeymoons in Idaho wild country, watching wolves. He is a wolf biologist working for an Indian reservation, she with a never-disclosed occupation, but recently diagnosed with RA. She is also hesitant to disclose, and he is clearly concerned but willing to abide by her decision for rejecting sympathy.
Camping, hiking, in the wild, carrying everything, filming wildlife, for a year.
One statement about her condition, loosely paraphrased. Yes, it's hard, but given the choice, I choose the adventure. Life is full and complicated, so you can't miss out on the things you want to do. Even when you feel like your body is failing you. Especially then.
I have a new personal hero!
