Thanks everyone for your support. Had a nice Christmas Day with wife and family. Wife bought me some very nice gifts which was unexpected given current situation. She put some real thought into the gifts.

No word on where things are heading. She seemed pretty upbeat but who knows what's going on inside her. I am dieing inside but show nothing but positive behaviour on the outside. I guess we are both doing this strange dance with neither one of us sharing our real feelings with each other.

This time last year, I was thinking that was probably our last Christmas together but here we are a year later and still grinding away. The next couple of weeks are important as I must continue with my program no matter how rough I maybe feeling.
