Tony, you'll never know...

My Dear Tony, When we found out I had cancer, you were so strong in front of me. I know you would just die if I knew you cried, but I heard you in the shower. It touched me, crying is not in your charachter, so I knew you were hurting, but you were strong for me. When you came to the hospitol and I was in the bathroom crying, You were amazing offering to wipe me. I would have never in a million years thought you would do that. You saw that I was unable to, and afraid to ask a nurse, you became my nurse. When I came home and you told me you would be with me for 6 week of my 12 week recovery I was amazed that you went to all the trouble to file FMLA (family medical leave act) to be with me through the hardest part of my recovery. Even with my home health nurse coming every day, you were still my best caregiver. You will never know how much I appreciate you showering me, emptying my foley, massaging my legs and even shaving my legs. If I ever doubted your love for me, it was totally renewed last summer, as we went through the hardest part of our 17 year marriage. I guess that is what is meant by "for better or for worse". I still have to battle some of these health issues, but I can face anything, because I never battle it alone. I will love you forever! I am stronger now, because of you (& Dr. A)!! All my Love, Nancy XOXO
