Thanks to both of you. The line about the patient and caregiver changing places really hit home with me. I will remember that as I care for her.
Three of our college friends are visiting us this weekend and we're having a special time reminiscing over 52 years of friendship. What a gift to all of us, most especially my ill spouse.

@deekredpeppers That must be both a combination of laughter, and bittersweet remembrances! So many years of friendship and support right there with you. Yes, indeed, a true gift to you all! Take pictures, recall fondly, write it all down in your journal, perhaps sing silly songs all together into a recording device, to be replayed later for you and your spouse when the rocky and tough times come up [you know they will, sooner or later].
