As some of you know, I've been my wife's only caregiver for the past ten years. It hasn't been easy and sometimes seemed unbearable. She suffered terribly through two cancers and end stage COPD. Her sisters were brutal and offered me nothing but criticism throughout. My wife passed to her eternal reward on Sunday, June 26, 2016. I would like to thank my friends on this site for all of their compassion, encouragement and prayers during this time. You have proven once again that **** is not thicker than water. I'm eternally grateful for each of you in my life.
