Been a rough evening. Watching a loved one in chronic pain and unable to help is the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever had to do. Pain free for now 💙😴 love watching him sleep (in a non stalkerish way lol) knowing his pain is under control ❤️ #sweetdreams #huntingtonsdisease #huntingtonsdiseaseawareness #andpeoplethinkhesnotsick #letstalkabouthd #nervedamage #neurologicaldisease #chronicillness #chronicpain #love #caregiverlife #husband #facesofcare #willbebyhissideforever 📷: @a_bella_me http://ift.tt/2DGd9qJ
