Butch,

My Wife has been very sick for several years and my positiveness has kept us 
both going.  The only thing that keeps me going is to always look at the 
bright side of things.  The negatives in this world will drag anyone down if 
you dwell on them.

I don't know, butt I sure know what they are going through.  Perhaps I'm
in serious need of counseling, but my wife died 3 years ago last
December and I'm still grieving.  My daughter says I act part of me was
buried with her, and I told her it probably was.
