Well i remember just the start of this school year saying to my 12 yo daughter on her first day 7th grade that I met my best friend the 1st day of 7th grade. Woodland jr. high school. thats where it all began. who would have thought 48 yr later wed still be at it. not much changed in our lives, Ann worked in retail and I in the medical  field. Ann moved to fl in 1987 and in 1989 she decided who would be my future husband and father of my children. Therefore my arrival in fl in 1989. we surely had our ups and downs but nothing could ever truly break the bond. I am proud to say we stuck it out through and through right til the end when i had the sad task of becoming her health care surrogate, thank god she was lucid til the end and i never had to utilize it, not for anything major anyway. i went to see her that morning after i got the call, she was at peace now, pain free, as comfortable as id seen her in mths, so thats it the short version.Lol
