Rharv,
I'm in Hospice Care not expected to live much longer.
My wife of 60 years just suffered her 15th stroke and her digestive system has shut down so her days/hours are numbered.
I can't imagine life without her.

I'm very sorry to hear about your wife.
At this particular point in time I understand more than ever.
But as far as you go; hang in there.
I have a mother-in-law that has been in hospice longer than you.
Hopefully humorous, but true. (your sense of humor is always admired here)
I know you've had a hard row to hoe.
Wishing the best

Best wishes Donny for how ever much time is left. I feel the same way about my wife. Life is short and everyday is a gift.
All the best,

Don, my old pal, there are no words which can adequately express the sadness I feel at this news.
I will simply think about the good times we've had, the collaborations, the jokes and the fun.
You will always be an inspiration to me, my friend.
ROG.
