    Shark Guy your dating your wife was something I did as well.

    Dw would ask me if I had a girlfriend and I would ask her if she would be my girlfriend. What a smile it always brought to her face. Precious.

    I saw my wife everyday and I had only taken a couple of weeks to visit family after she was in mc. Otherwise she was my life.

    Your dw is beautiful lady and you are a wonderful caregiver. Your plan is yours to live!

    My DH was diagnosed year ago. With VD and is in the early stages. We have one young adult son who will be 26 tomorrow. Also 2 year old granddaughter. With my husband and I can’t see someone while he is still alive. But I am going to give you some wise words. My mom has always said Angela. You have to do. What you know in your heart. Is right for you. As long as you do that. Your heart will never steer you wrong. So that is what I think you should do.
