Life as a couple often leads us to make great efforts and sacrifices in order to see our life partner fulfilled and happy. While it is normal for most men to work hard so that their wives lack nothing, many are capable of doing whatever it takes to fulfill their beloved’s dream.
Such is the case of Sidney Nardes, a man from Praia Grande, São Paulo, in Brazil, who did everything possible to make his wife’s dream come true: get breast implants and have a tummy tuck.
For almost a year, Sidney saved nearly 21,000 reais, about $4,427, for cosmetic procedures that, according to him, are demonstrations of love in return for 17 years of companionship with his beloved wife.
The reward for the effort came on February 17, when housewife Amanda Nardes Aguilar had implants placed and underwent surgery to remove excess abdominal fat.
plans and achievements
It all started when Amanda saw the new look of her sister, who had undergone breast implant surgery.
When we learned the price, we realized that at that time it was out of our reach. It was a utopia.
As they discussed the matter, Sidney noticed the sadness on his wife’s face, who was dismayed that she couldn’t afford the surgery. However, the enamored man did not give up.
The decision had already been made: he would save what was necessary to fulfill his wife’s dream.
I told him that dreams are to be fulfilled.
The next day, Sidney used a 20-liter gallon of water as a piggy bank to save Amanda’s surgery money and left her a note:
Good day! He left you here 1 percent of your dream. Yesterday it was 100 percent. Today only 99 percent is missing.
The whole family was involved. Certain daily habits were modified to achieve the couple’s goal, such as eliminating any non-essential expenses and moderating the consumption of water and electricity. Although it was not easy, since the couple has seven children, with patience and perseverance they managed to reach the goal.
Unexpected
Although they had collected more money, they had to take a part to help Sidney’s father, as his house needed some repairs.
Then I saw that she was with me in any situation. She is a super partner, she is a friend. In all my professional projects he supports me.
Despite the family objective, an important decision had to be made in the process: to advance the date of the aesthetic procedures. Previously, Amanda had undergone a total hysterectomy, for which her uterus was removed, but she did not take the necessary rest, so a hernia formed over the scar.
He had to go to the hospital due to excess fluid accumulated in the region, but the doctor told him that he could not drain it and since he knew that plastic surgery would be performed, he suggested moving the procedure forward to take advantage of the intervention.
When you have a dream, you focus. And I wanted to see her happy.
