Thank you Anne, The hardest part is the rapid change - just when we figure out how to cope with one thing, something else occurs. Like you said, the decline; it's difficult for both of us watching Dennis loosing the ability to be a doer.

Dancer, you have inspired me through your posts. Your tenacity is something I admire.

Hannelore, my long lost sister. Your words are always a comfort to me. I agree, our deep love makes it possible. I remember you telling me that some of your aquaintances have divorced over illnesses; I can't imagine leaving Dennis because of this. I just love him too much.
