My dear wife Mrs Leo will never read this. But I just want to say how lucky I am to have such a wonderful supportive wife. I am indeed blessed. The last year and a half since diagnosis has worn her down, but she has always been marvellous.
Hi Leo. Really good to know how supportive Mrs L has been. Sometimes we forget that our loved ones are just as affected and in some cases even more than we are. Best wishes to you both and your family.
I wish I could tell her, but I suspect she already knows how much you appreciate her.
It must be terrible to have to face this stuff alone or even worse with the wrong partner.
And I am sure the rest of us women could write something similar about our husbands, certainly I could (and have).
Long may it continue.

Hi Leo1
Lovely words about Mrs Leo. Those of us who are indeed blessed with wonderful and amazing partners are so lucky to have them beside us every step of the way. I could not have done the last 6.5 years, sometimes in very stormy seas, without my own lifeboat to cling to. Hope you’re doing better in yourself today-you’ve been having a difficult time of it.
