Getting into the Details of
the TRUE LOVE STORY
|
"Quit is Not an Option" a true story by Terry Haywood unfolds a touching narrative, commencing with a pivotal medical event in November 2012 that forever alters Terry's life. Set in a quaint town west of Chicago within the walls of an aged 2-story Georgian home, the story revolves around a resilient mid-aged couple, married for 25 years. It encapsulates their enduring bond, initiated amidst contrasting backgrounds but solidified by an unwavering connection.
Terry's introspection, post the life-altering November incident, reveals admiration for his wife Donna's unspoken preparation. Their journey began with Donna's family generously embracing Terry when he was 22, later weathering challenges together, including a job loss that Donna navigated with steadfast support, asserting, "If I cannot be around, you when you are down, then I do not want to be around you at all!" |
Contrary to stereotypes, Terry admits to shedding tears, initially fueled by self-pity but evolving into expressions of understanding, strength, and happiness. Debunking societal norms, he emphasizes that "Men Don't Cry" is a fallacy. Despite facing circumstances that limit certain activities, the couple's daily affirmation of love remains unyielding.
Terry, through his experiences, imparts valuable life lessons. Life's unfairness is acknowledged, yet he encourages readers to confront it head-on without succumbing to the temptation to quit. Navigating the complex role of a caregiver, he dons multiple hats—husband, father, nurse, chef, attorney—yet, above all, he embodies the steadfast "CAREGIVER" who refuses to quit. |
The author urges readers to embrace faith and adopt a positive mindset, emphasizing the importance of smiling through challenges. The mantra is clear: change what you can with a smile, accept what you can't, and appreciate it. Love your endeavors, approach them with heartfelt intentions, and, above all, care without quitting. The resounding message is one of perseverance—winners never quit, and quitters never truly win. In 2012, Terry made a solemn promise to be there for Donna, irrespective of the challenges ahead. His commitment reflects an enduring true love story.
