Bobby,
Please know that you are not alone in your grief. So many grieve with you. I am and have been one of those. As you have lovingly cared for Nancy during these past years you have been an inspiration to all of your caregiver friends, as well as to those who have yet to experience the profound pain of gradual loss.
I only wish I had the chance to have known Nancy better.
Just as you are, she must have been an extraordinary person for you to love her so.
Love,
Ann
