Today, I got the biggest surprise of my life.
My phone rang, and I almost didn't answer, thinking it was the millionth call to try and sell me a Medicare Advantage plan. Because I get calls for my husband from the VA, I answered.
The person asked if I was the person who wrote to President Biden at the White House about my husband's disability battle with the VA.
I was shocked.
Yesterday, I got what I thought was a routine response from the White House that my letter had been forwarded to the appropriate person to help me resolve our issues. I thought that was the end of that.
Instead, this person called me personally to inform us that the VA had approved my husband for permanent and total disability. I immediately started crying. We have been trying to get to this place since 2016.
This is life changing.
I told my husband, who started crying too.
Summer was the only one with dry eyes.
