Thanks to the partners, friends, family and carers x

Beautiful and so true for my hubby as well he did all that. I do think our other half’s suffer as well they are frightened for us as well as the what ifs.

That's really nice. Our spouses are very often forgotten in all this. I don't know how I would have fared, without my wife caring for me, the way she did.

How thoughtful.

Wrapped in our own misery it's easy to forget our loved ones' suffering. They are the ones who have to be "strong" who have to hide their grief while everything is centred around the patient. My husband cooked and cleaned, set up my meds and feed and gave me a kick when I needed it, who stepped back when I pushed him away...which was often. 

I asked him a few times when things had calmed down how he felt and he said, "I  just got on with it. Nobody else was going to do it and I knew you would be OK"

Quis curabit ipsos curatores?

Hi Dani had to look that one up but yes so true. “Who will guard the guards “ As our dear friend Tanya used to say every days a school day. 
All John used to say was he took his marriage vows seriously 40 years ago in sickness and in health. I like you wasn’t always the model patient.

Difficult one 

It actually means who curates the curators but such is the latin language that it can mean who cares for the carers or custodians 

Lovely poetry Puny Goose, so true of my hubby too, thanks for sharing

Thank you so much for sharing this private letter of appreciation.  Brought a tear to my eye and emotion that only those on here can feel with every bone in their body.

Wish you continued healing and happy times with your hubby. Xx
