As young adults, we all dream of finding "the One" - a soul mate and companion for the rest of our lives. And so did Margaret ("Muffi") Lavigne. But she never expected to meet that special someone at the Hospital for Special Care, a long-term, acute care hospital. Both Lavigne and Chris Plum have muscular dystrophy, a progressive disease that causes weakness and loss of muscle mass. Their romance blossomed in the hallways and garden of the hospital, and they were married in its courtyard. They now share a room crowded with medical equipment, attended by aides. No one knows what the future holds, "but if we are together, wherever that is, it's home" says Lavigne.
