Now, B. and Dan Gasby, her husband of more than two decades, are determined to live every day fully and lovingly at their Sag Harbor home. B. Smith has also been a key figure in raising public awareness about the degenerative disease.

"In the beginning, when it was starting to happen to me, I didn't get it." B. says. "But then I decided that I'm gonna get it and I'm gonna fight. And we're going to continue to grow where we are."

Watch B. and Dan express their enduring love for one another and share the struggles they've faced, as they continue to live for the present and strengthen their deep spiritual bond.
