As you most likely know by now, DNI Tulsi Gabbard will be resigning at the end of the month to take care of her husband Abraham as he battles a rare form of bone cancer.
It’s just heartbreaking for their family. But, Tulsi remains in a positive spirit.
Today, she posted a video message on social media ahead of Abraham’s surgery thanking supporters who are sending prayers and best wishes their way.
Watch her video here:
Tulsi Gabbard and Abraham Williams have been married for over a decade. They are obviously close and very much in love.
Newsweek provided some more background on their relationship:
Gabbard and Williams’ paths first crossed while Gabbard was campaigning in 2012 for a Hawaii seat in the House of Representatives. They got married in 2015.
Williams, a cinematographer, has largely stayed out of the political spotlight. His diagnosis, however, became central to Gabbard’s decision to leave public service.
He appeared beside her in Instagram photos and campaign imagery years before she became the DNI. Williams volunteered as a photographer on her congressional campaign and shot many of the images that helped introduce her to voters.
Williams shares Gabbard’s love of the outdoors. The couple bonded over hikes, long walks and even a pickup volleyball game on their first date, but it was their shared connection to the ocean that ultimately brought them closest. They own property in Leander, Texas, according to documents reviewed by Newsweek.
Please continue to pray for Abraham as he goes through treatment and Tulsi as she supports him through all this.
May he recover fully and swiftly!
