Summary

When Alexis, a teenager battling cancer, learns that a new boy named Ricky is in the same unit of the hospital as her, she expects him to be a sweet child like the other patients she’s befriended. To her surprise, however, Ricky is a tall, handsome teen. A friendship develops between the two amidst their chemo treatments and years of relapses and recoveries. Their bond eventually leads to marriage and a life of supporting and loving each other even with the myriad of unknowns they face with their health, each learning all the forms true Christlike love can take.

0:00.0	Welcome to This Is The Gospel, an LDS living podcast where we feature real stories from real
0:08.9	people who are practicing and living their faith every day. I'm Erica Free and I'm so excited
0:14.0	to be hosting this episode today that is all about love because it's Valentine's Day here in the
0:18.8	US and I don't know about you but I've always kind of liked Valentine's Day. It is not because I
0:25.1	always have a significant other to celebrate with or anything. I'm actually usually single for
0:29.8	Valentine's Day but I still enjoy it and I think for me it started all the way back in elementary school.
0:36.3	So I don't know about you but my elementary school in the States we would decorate these boxes
0:42.0	and hang them up at the end of our desks and walk around and give out candy to each other
0:46.3	and so you'd go home with so much candy and I thought it was the best holiday ever.

0:56.2	people around me. I just would buy chocolates and give them out to my friends. I would write little

1:20.9	significant other if you have one or even love for Christ in the gospel. And we have the perfect
1:27.1	story for you today that touches on all those different types of love and what they can mean to
1:32.0	someone. Our storytellers for today are Ricky and Alexis. Okay so I knew Ricky from back in high
1:38.7	school he played basketball with my little brother. He and his wife just celebrated their third
1:44.0	anniversary last September. Both Ricky and Alexis are cancer survivors and even though they've
1:49.9	survived cancer they still struggle with various health problems so to help keep Alexis as comfortable
1:55.3	as possible we recorded at their house instead of a studio where we usually record. So you might
1:59.9	catch some background noise of their home life. I think it just adds a great atmosphere for their
