    You may be familiar with this poem:

    And when he goes to Heaven

    To Saint Peter he will tell:

    Another Marine reporting, Sir;

    I've served my time in hell!

    I modified it to my own situation:

    When I arrive in Heaven

    To Saint Peter I will tell:

    I cared for my wife, who had Alzheimer’s, Sir;

    I’ve already been through Hell!
