A couple of thank yous...
A friend of mine posted a song/video that hit rather close to home. I have enjoyed the music of Rob Thomas before, and what I have taken from this, makes me like him even more. Thank you for posting it, honey.

Rob Thomas' wife has lupus, so he knows how hard it can be for a caregiver to watch a person they love suffering when there's nothing that can be done to make it better. I've had nights like this--I'm sure every person reading this with a chronic illness has as well. If you know someone who is the caregiver in one of these relationships, give them a hug or a fistbump or something. Let them know they have friends who care about them and what they are going through after hours."

And my other thank you: dch4. There are days I know you stand by me, helpless to do anything, but to comfort me. I know it is hard to feel that there is nothing you can do. You presence in my life helps and I am grateful for it, even if I don't say anything. Thank you for everything you have done, for everything you do and for being my rock. I love you.
