My wife is a professional artisan pastry chef and baker. She makes baked goods without additives and with natural ingredients. Since I follow a very restricted and special diet due to my health issues, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, and digestive sensitivities, she's making gluten-free puddings, pizzas, and breads. Needless to say, this makes me happy, both for being able to eat delicious and healthy food and for her generous act of love in taking care of me.
She has heart failure, and I'm her coach and therapist, and she's my cook. I prepare her plant-based remedies, help her with her Qigong and meditation exercises, and she makes sure I don't eat processed junk food.
Her way of giving love is feeding people. Mine is protecting and healing broken bodies.
We're both autistic and gifted. Yes, we have challenges, and sometimes they're many, but we also have this relationship, which is a gem not so easy to find these days.
