You are amazing. I hope you know that. You and my wife are very much alike. That gal held me up by my bootstraps for over 2 years as people constantly let me down (still do but whatever) and chose not to visit, call, write...whatever.
I remember my mom going off on my sister for saying the same thing (I can't cope) when I was in the hospital after the surgery that took my face. She looked at my sister with the look that always made me cowar as a child and said "You will get your ass in there because he needs you...it's not about you!". My mom is cut from the same stuff you and my wife are...and as a patient, it means the world.
Let me thank you, as I thank them Wendy for doing what you do my dear...it's the hardest f****** job on the planet. Because of their example I do my best now to be that support to other local patients as I can, it's hard but knowing what it meant to me it's worth those emotions...it expands the heart.
Love you Wendy.
Eric
