@stevenwood, I don't even know where to begin with your beautiful comment.
Having experienced some of life's cruelest gifts of late I can relate
First, we are so sorry that you are able to empathize with our situation. I am here if you ever need to talk about it, but you're right, talking or stating the facts never really helps with the pain. I find though that it somehow feels comforting when others can truly empathize, but awful at the same time because it only means they've felt similar pain.
I appreciate your comments about laughter. Brian and I spend most nights in bed, giggling like schoolgirls :) We relive old memories and stories everyday. As much as we both despise what is happening, there's a silver lining in the fact that we have time to prepare; we have time to reminisce and linger on our memories together.
The outpouring of love and support has been and still is overwhelming...in a good way. It has somehow given Brian especially an extra spring in his step, and for both of us, it has affirmed how we are felt about here and how we have affected others with our story. You are a part of that story now too.
I too believe in the power of wheatgrass, but just haven't searched it out here in Mexico. I'm sure I can find it...thank you for that reminder.
Thank you again for your kind and loving words, and we will accept a virtual hug from you; we are sending one to you as well. The swans are beautiful; I believe they also mate for life <3
