brue,

You are so strong. I am sure as you look back over the past year, you see so many changes within yourself.
When you described your friend in the hospital, it took me back to early autumn of this past year, when I lost a very close family member who spent weeks in the hospital before the end. I remember feeling things akin to what you said in your post. In the end, this is what happens. It brought a lot into perspective for me. I know you have a wonderful life ahead of you, no matter what happens with your husband.
Blessings!


Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
