My first wife spent the last five years of her life on dialysis. Yes, it put somewhat of a crimp in our activities. But she carried on like a trooper, doing what she could. It was a fine example to me. I hope our kids appreciate her fortitude.
Ten years after her death I married a widow. Should either of us become an invalid, I hope we would show the same strength as my first wife did. She left me with a good example.
