Red Sox legend's legendary marriage

From a Globe article on 89-year-old legendary Sox second-baseman Bobby Doerr returning to Fenway this week:

"Monica and Bobby Doerr were married for 65 years. In 1947, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. In 1967, when Bobby was a coach of the pennant-winning Impossible Dream team, Monica was forced into a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Doerr became her primary caregiver. He took her fishing. He wheeled her everywhere. Even as his own health declined, he refused to put her in a nursing home.

Bobby Doerr doesn't dwell on the World Series he didn't win or the money he didn't make. A boy of summer in the winter of life, he is sure of only one thing.

"I'll see Monica again, someday," he said. "And I take great comfort in that."
