sal, your story makes me sad in a way. you lost your partner, your shipmate on life's stormy seas.
but also happy for you because you know who you are and the way you deal with your challenges is to be applauded.

whilst i was a district nurse i could never get used to helping with deaths at home and the aftermath for the families. in fact, i can't drive around the city anymore for thinking about so and so who loved down this and that street.

but don't leave us. i for one enjoy reading your contributions and would feel the gap if you weren't here.
