Oh Leslie, I'm sorry...tears. It must be hard for our those closest to us as (at least for me) I can be capable one day...and then not the next. For me I just feel so sad for my hubby. It feels he was born to just be a caretaker. In some ways he is so good at it, and others he just wants to STOP needing to be thinking of others all the time. This may be a good time to mention he is a firefighter...often helping invalids and shut-ins.

Our children are young and so active. He often has to take on so much more than I can. But everyday I force myself to do as much as I can. Of late I am trying to be near him, even if I am just seated or laying down. I was going to bed and avoiding the rest of the house when I could, but he was feeling so lonely.
