Re: Skye
He was cigarrate smoke and all. He usually comes around at 4am and I smell cigarrates. I ask him to smell like flowers but that wouldn't smell like him.

I was so in this. Losing a family member to cancer is the worst; I felt my brother-in-law when I was reading this. sam

Being a caregiver.
WOW! This posting just blew me away!
I too, am a caregiver for a lady that I care deeply about. She will not go quietly or meekly into that good night. I hope that she will outlive me, but a part of me knows better. Marilyn has MS and this is incurable, progressive, and ultimately fatal because while the disease does not kill anyone, the effects of it eventually will. My heart goes out to you. You expressed thoughts and concerns that millions of us have had. I also deliver "meals on wheels" to seniors who are on the same path to the grave, the same path that we all are on. Nobody gets outta here alive!
A wheelchair-bound lady once told me that I am a "Tab." She explained that I am just "temporarily able-bodied." If everyone saw things the way she did, we might live in a better world! Thank you for what you wrote. You have performed a great service with this posting.
