Just a lil tender thought:
When we last saw this photo in the media, it was questioned why Ioan was holding Bianca’s hand in the crook of his arm, and one sweet suggestion was that he was being gentlemanly in a kind of old-fashioned way. And while I find that thought incredibly lovely I also believe, now that we’re informed of Bianca’s illness, that he’s holding her this way because it’s her right hand, which tremors a great deal, and so it’d be quite difficult, perhaps uncomfy, for them to hold hands. Hence him offering his arm.
That was a
terribly tiny observation on my part and I don’t mean to shower Ioan in an innocent light, as we don’t actually fully know how their love was created at which point in the divorce timeline…but I just want to say that I see these tokens of sensitivity in him towards Bianca & her needs that I appreciate. They’re soft and thoughtful, in my opinion. I’m just glad he seems to understand what suits her. MS is merciless, she is probably struggling deeply, but I’m glad her heart seems to be in the care of someone who is ready to assist her in whatever way he is able.
