One of my few pleasures is living vicariously through you and @ocdogmom. Both of you have managed to live life fully--and still have fun--while providing the best care possible for your beloved husbands.

@georgescraftjr I think attitude is really important and how we view things every day. This isn't easy, we're all at different stages, which makes the view so much different for each of us. I may be upbeat, but there are days, I get overwhelmed, frightened and feel exhausted. I haven't felt anger, just fearful of what could come. I think for me, viewing it as positive as I can places the fear on the back burner. And then, there's my daily mantra I haven't said in a while: Courage to face the day, clarity to know what to do and when, and God's light, shining down helping lead the way. Best, Karla
