Thanks for always reminding me to face reality--my reality.

You are heroic--as is @memoriestomoments.

In contrast, I am a lost cause, dreaming "the impossible dream, fighting "the unbeatable foe," bearing with "unbearable sorrow [t]o run where the brave dare not go."

I am still hanging in there even though my friends tell me it's time for George to go to a care facility. Too often, I feel that caregiving is killing me; but I am still convinced that :

"...I'll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest

And the world will be better for this
That one man, scorned and covered with scars
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star!"
