dance class at Let's Dance Studio in Rochester, N.Y. on Oct. 13, 2018. They began dancing after the stroke to have something to do together. It has been instrumental in Rick's recovery because it exercises his body and short term memory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9890a8e2ccd197e85cb5c9/1545007121843-9DA70HY9HY7AB518UJ5Y/02_rafferty_cravatta_101318_118.JPG Love Endures Christine drives Rick to their dance lesson on Oct. 13, 2018. Christine does not like driving, but she has been forced to learn how to drive a handicap accessible van to transport Rick and his wheelchair. “When I first brought him home it was rough, it was like bringing a brand-new baby home. But I love him, I was not going to put him in a nursing home—no way. They said, ‘You can’t take care of him at home.’ I said, ‘Watch me.’” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9890a8e2ccd197e85cb5c9/1545007229680-1GZH4U4LRVPV7R2Q5PD8/03_rafferty_cravatta_101318_005.JPG Love Endures Christine helps Rick put socks on in the morning before going to their dance lesson on Oct. 13, 2018. Rick became paralyzed on the right side of his body after the stroke. Since beginning to dance he has regained some mobility in his right leg. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9890a8e2ccd197e85cb5c9/1545007254293-LH5J29BNHSFLVMBMWK50/04_rafferty_cravatta_101318_369.JPG Love Endures Christine prepares Rick's pills for the week on Oct. 13, 2018. The medications include treatment for blood pressure, cholesterol, low dose antibiotics to prevent UTIs and neurostimulates. Christine started to take her own medication for high blood pressure after the stroke, but will sometimes forget because she is taking care of Rick. "I always forget me." she says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9890a8e2ccd197e85cb5c9/1545007268923-FMEZ53L18Y4CZ1FJZTTB/05_rafferty_cravatta_103018_115.JPG Love Endures Christine gets up at 6 am to read scriptures and exercise before getting Rick up at 8 on Oct. 30, 2018. "I will get up even if I'm exhausted. It's my favorite time of the day... it's me and me." she says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9890a8e2ccd197e85cb5c9/1545008274686-OTMAX3813FRZLRBMCQS5/07_rafferty_cravatta_101718_293.JPG Love Endures Rick attends music and speech therapy at Nazareth College in Rochester, N.Y. on Oct. 17, 2018. One of the results of suffering from the stroke was aphasia. The goal of therapy is to improve verbal and nonverbal communication through repetitive speech exercises. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9890a8e2ccd197e85cb5c9/1545008678898-E618HE7H23ATNA4IXGUD/08_rafferty_cravatta_103018_164.JPG Love Endures Rick helps his granddaughter, Raquel Cravatta, pick up leaves in their driveway on Oct. 30, 2018.

The younger grandchildren have no memory of the way their grandfather was before the stroke, but the older ones actually like this version of Rick better. "This grandpa is funnier. The other grandpa was more stern." Christine says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9890a8e2ccd197e85cb5c9/1545008761976-34CACQO1BFMGVR643FVJ/10_rafferty_cravatta_112018_066.JPG Love Endures Christine prepares her bed on the floor beside Rick on Nov. 20, 2018. She has been sleeping on the floor since he came home from rehabilitation. "I miss my bed, it's like I'm camping every night..." she says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9890a8e2ccd197e85cb5c9/1545009209261-QPZIPL2G1ORJSHN3E4YG/12_rafferty_cravatta_101418_064.JPG Love Endures Christine struggles to push Rick into the door to Sweet Briar, her friend's event space on Oct. 14, 2018. Christine recently retired from being a culinary educator at BOCES, but has been helping her friend with food preparation several times a week. She often brings Rick to work with her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9890a8e2ccd197e85cb5c9/1545009402955-I4BPXX6M14LDG6DRBV4L/14_rafferty_cravatta_110418_024.JPG Love Endures The Cravatta's pray before eating dinner at Rick's birthday party on Nov. 4, 2018. Christine and Rick are devout Christians. "We're just passing through here. And that's why I can deal with this tragedy. Because this is not all there is, in my beliefs in Jesus Christ... and I'm really okay with my life, I really am. I've made peace with it." Christine says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b9890a8e2ccd197e85cb5c9/1545009391036-RJTNFFKDGQWXB8A3RMBK/15_rafferty_cravatta_101518_382.JPG Love Endures Christine and Rick share a kiss at the Radisson Hotel Rochester Airport during the monthly Jazz Night hosted by Flower City Jazz Society on Oct. 15, 2018. “Sometimes I cry because I love you.
