Woman Cares for Husband with Disability for Years, One Day Accidentally Sees Him Playing Golf – Story of the Day
|Barbra worked hard to provide for her husband, who became disabled after an accident at work. But one day, she saw him walking on two legs and playing golf with a friend. When she confronted him, he revealed the shocking truth about his disability.

He always cheered up when his friend, Bruce, invited him over to his house. Bruce would take him to baseball games, and he had a game room in his home.
But Bruce was a businessman and didn’t have that much time. Therefore, when he did, they took the whole weekend. Barbra took advantage of those weekends too and visited her friend at Destin. They didn’t happen often, but it was a nice break. Sadly, it was time to return to reality and go back to work.
She slept for almost the entire ride on the bus back to Tallahassee, but she woke just as they entered their area. She soon noticed that the bus was passing near Bruce’s house and her jaw dropped when she saw two men standing in Bruce’s front yard. They walked...
