Hello My Sweetheart

<p><p> Sigrid Gassner-Roberts’ unique work evolves from her recollections of narrating her life story to her husband who lies in a coma in a Viennese hospital after a brain aneurysm. The doctors tell her that he can hear her so she begins by reminding him of their first date. </p><br /><p> Sigrid had been a young Austrian student who originally came to America to study on a Fulbright scholarship. She had a busy teaching career and her work took her from the US to Austria to Australia. </p><br /><p> It was in Australia that she met her future husband a US naval officer who proposed only a few short weeks after they met in 1975. The couple had been married but four years when her husband had his stroke. Sigrid finds a path to caring for him while carrying on with her teaching duties and their love story continues until his death. </p></p>
