“It wasn’t even a thought for me. I was there. I felt I had to be,” Wollover toldEssenceof the experience. “At that point, he wasn’t my husband, but we were actually supposed to be getting married that summer. When you choose to share a life with somebody, God forbid something bad would happen, you want to choose the partner that’s going to ride with you through the good and the bad.”
Wollover continued, “There were moments where I don’t think he really felt that he would [work] again. Even moments where he might not have felt he might have been walking, but I heard doctors say, ‘You know, if you do your therapy, you’re going to walk.’ We just had to keep being positive about it and strong. I was strong with my husband. You don’t get a big pity party from me for too long. I had to stay strong.”
