So sorry to hear about your friend, Wendy. They have so many new treatments now ... life expectancy is much better even with a second recurrence.
My H used to also say, "love you" when ending a convo on the phone. I stopped, so he did too. It's something that your H said it. A baby step? Or an accident? Only time will tell, 'eh!?
You are so lucky to have your children and grandchildren nearby. I really miss mine who are far away.
Ciao for now.
