GDJ, your words are so true. You poetically put into words what I have experienced. There are definately silver linings in these black clouds and couples will get through it together and find out how much you mean to eachother. Awesome that you mentioned how hard the caregiver's role is. My wife IS an angel. I always prayed for a better relationship with my wife and God has showed me that I already have a perfect relationship with her. My eyes were opened.
