Al, Thank you; you made me feel a LOT better. I hate to admit this but I got a lousy night's sleep last night, all tied up in knots thinking he's doing so "good" now. He did ask me about cough/cold meds. to get at the drug store, so maybe you're right, he's thinking of how I would do those things for him when he lived at home.
I'll post later post-brunch. I'm sure we'll have a good time today. Hugs, Al!
Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
