This is really making me think... Did you ever see that Youtube video of the dog racing round the chair trying to catch the end of it's own lead, just ahead of it? I feel like that too often. Stupid, I know. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tl2KmnWT2WQ) There's such a lot in this post - I'm sorry, so sorry about the pain... so moved as well by your wise words that encourage a caregiver's smile even in the shadow of it.

It is all so very excruciating and heartbreaking for your wife to watch and care for you in this hour, Andrew. I'm so glad that you see that and are offering insight to those who face these same challenges. I'll be sharing in the Twittersphere, my friend! And prayers are being lifted all day long, every day.
