You have posted a post that each and every one of us fears ever having to post. Some here have already had to post on a recurrance. Some of us will have to in the future and your post will be an inspiration to us. You show such courage and I'm glad there is a calm period for you to catch your breath a bit and make a plan for whatever is to come. You already know about spending time wisely, living in the moment, etc. My prayers are with you and your family.
