What question do you most dread?
Probably "Can you identify his body?"
A close second behind that would be "Did you know we assigned you a new partner?"
I've never made any secret of the fact that I've built my entire life around my husband. We're a team both professionally and personally; even if we weren't married we'd still be that way. I could never imagine him not being there. I would be devastated if he was gone someday. At least if he was still alive, we'd find a way to work things out - albeit probably a difficult one - but I need him by my side. It's where I belong.
Some people deride me for being willing to take a backseat to my partner and for sticking so close to him. The truth is that he couldn't be more perfect for me. I've always had a strong male influence in my life that I can turn to and learn from: first my father, then my brother, and then John. I feel more at ease when I have that in my life. And John isn't some guy I worship while he walks all over me - far from it. We respect and love each other so deeply and so intensely that I can't explain it. He makes me better, providing the encouragement and foundation for me to perform at my best. We help each other, learn from each other, and support one another. In other words, we're so tightly enmeshed together because that's how we both are and what we both want.
Being separated from John would end me, because without him I'm only half an agent and a woman. Without him, I wouldn't have my partner, my husband, my best friend, my mentor, my hero, the father of my child. He is all those things and more. He's everything. So that's the question I'd fear the most. The one that would mean he was taken away from me.
