Jane's role in Hawking's Life

Stephen Hawking was born on January 1942 and died in March 2018. He was English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author,who was the director of research at the Centre for Theoretical Cosmology at the university of Cambridge at the time of his death. In fact Hawking is a real wonder to the world. In 1963, he got a rare disease called 'amyotrophic lateral sclerosis' for which there is no cure.The doctors told him he had only two years to live.But he did not die. Just before he entered the hospital for tests he met Jane Wilde.She liked his wit. When he came out of the hospital, she felt that he had lost his will to live and he was very confused.Jane was a shy teenager with a strong faith in God.Hawking liked her optimism and their friendship grew.In 1984 he caught pneumonia and doctors suggested a tracheotomy operation.This would result in the removal of his windpipe and he would never speak again.Jane reluctantly agreed for the operation.Hawking and Jane had three children. In all the difficulties it was jane that supported Hawking and all his successes should be attributed to the loving care Jane had given to him.
