lawrie,
so happy for you and the wee missus me bucko. like you, i can't imagine life without her but the strain of taking care of me is having its physical and emotional toll on her and that simply breaks my heart. we hope to make it to the 'big five 0' but with our health issues, who can say? we try to be content with one day at a time and constantly reassure each other of our love. we have always applied the bible's council: 'never let the sun set with you in a provoked state...' and it has kept us going through difficult moments that creep into any marriage. i treasure her and make her know it as i'm sure you do your wife. that, in a nutshell, is my secret to a long and happy marriage. don't let a day go by that you don't reassure her of your devotion. like the garth brooks song that joanne and i both love: 'if tomorrow never comes.'
