After watching her fight for three years and be reduced from one with a Showgirl figure and a bubbly personality which made her fun to be with to one who looked like a concentration camp victim unable to even be understood by any but me, I was praying for God to take her home. No matter about my feelings I couldn't stand to see the torture when there was nothing I could do to remove the pain. I felt the worst because of our then 13 yr old not having his mom during his teenage years. But I thank God that he gave her to me for the 20 years we were married.
One just does what one must to get through the day after something like that. But her mom stayed with us for months even after her death. Anyone who raps mothers-in-law will hear from me.
Have you considered getting married again?
