@jesfactsmon, Hank, I think what you wrote about not being able to ease the pain of someone we care so deeply about is one of the worst predicaments for the caregiver. Your lovely lady, whether she responds first to "wife" or "girlfriend", vbg, definitely looks like a keeper! ...upon reflection, that she has kept you around for 43 years or so? says that you must certainly have a redeeming quality or two yourself! lol Best to you both during this time of pandemic in which all aspects of our lives are being turned upside down.
