In Australia six years ago, 27-year-old Turia Pitt, a former model, was competing in an ultramarathon when a bush fire engulfed her.
Over 64% of her body was severely burnt.
She might not live, according to the doctors.
Michael Hoskin, Turia’s lover, left his position as a police officer to care for her after the accident. He has always supported her and remained by her side. Michael was aware that he was ineffective.
Turia has undergone 200 procedures since the catastrophe. She suffered the loss of seven fingers and required more than two years to recover.When she was trapped by fire during a 100-kilometer race in a remote part of Western Australia in 2020, she was interviewed and revealed the terrible incident.
“I remember seeing bits of my skin stuck to the rocks and spinifex,” Pitt said and explained that she felt a “bubbling feeling of panic.”
Michael bought Turia a diamond ring while she was in intensive care four years prior and used it to pop the question to her in 2015. When they were on vacation in the Maldives, according to Michael, he proposed to her.
“When Turia was in intensive care four years ago I bought a diamond ring,” Michael explains.
For the first two years of her recovery, Turia had to cover her face with a mask. She started to get better gradually but steadily. Every day, Michael tells his wife, “You’re beautiful.” In 2016, the couple exchanged vows.
Turia expresses her gratitude to Michael for all of his assistance over the course of the past seven trying years, the majority of which she has spent in the hospital.
“Going to sleep next to my partner I never thought anything of before. Now I think how lucky am I get to sleep next to this beautiful man. He’s a good guy and I’m very lucky to have him,” Turia Pitt tells the Daily Mail.
“Every day I wake up beside Michael is a great day.”
