HEIDI, YOU ARE SO RIGHT. I SOMETIMES WONDER IF MY HUSBAND THINKS TO HIMSELF

THAT HE IS SICK AND TIRED OF ME BEING SICK. I FORGET TO LET HIM KNOW OFTEN

ENOUGH HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE ALL THAT HE DOES FOR ME. WITHOUT HIM I WOULDN'T BE

HERE RIGHT NOW TO WRITE THIS POST. HE HAS SAVED MY LIFE MORE THAN ONCE. I

MUST REMEMBER TO THANK HIM MORE OFTEN. HE HAS LIVED WITH ME FOR 37 YEARS AND

OUT OF THOSE 37 YEARS I HAVE BEEN SICK FOR MOST ALL OF THEM. HE AND MY

DAUGHTER NEVER CEASE TO LOVE ME AND TAKE CARE OF ME. I AM SO LUCKY TO HAVE THE

FAMILY THAT I HAVE. I WISH I COULD DO SOMETHING TO SHOW MY HUSBAND HOW MUCH HE

IS

APPRECIATED AND LOVED.

I AM CURED OF CP BUT I HAVE CHRONIC HEPATITIS B AND ILLNESSES THAT WERE

CAUSED BY THE TREATMENT OF CP SO MY LIFE IS BETTER THAN IT WAS BEFORE THE TP/ICT

BUT IT CONTINUES TO BE VERY LIMITED IN WHAT I CAN DO FOR MY SELF. WITHOUT HIM

TO CARE FOR ME I BELIEVE I WOULD BE IN A NURSING HOME. SO LIKE YOU HEIDI I AM

SO GRATEFUL FOR MY HUSBAND AND HOPE THAT HE WILL HAVE SOME ENJOYMENT IN HIS

LIFE. SHIRLEY

This is from Canada. I so can relate to how husbands care for us.

Mine died March of 2001 and my life is so much more difficlult without him

being here. We were married almost 45 years and I have had lots of health

issues.

OMG. You are so very right. Be sure to do so and tell those people you

love just how much you do. I am so glad my husband did this - as he passed

away Sat morning.

Kimber,

I'm so sorry your husband passed away. You have my sympathies. If you

ever want to talk, about anything, please feel free to email me.

Kimber (nice to meet another Kimber)
