in Caring For a Spouse or Partner
Random, precious convo yesterday, with my DW’s speech clear and a couple of thoughts strung together:
DW:  I’d like to be like you.
Me:  that’s nice.  Why is that?
DW:  because you’re good
Me:  thanks for saying that.  You’re good too.
DW:  I love you.

    Jeff, that’s so sweet. It’s her letting you know she’s still in there.
