1 Answer

Answer :

Yes! My husband of 40 years. At the age of 58 (I am 61 now) I was diagnosed with a disease that progressively and steadily is not only effecting brain function but all body functions as well. I will keep getting worse as there is no cure nor remission. Of course I just wanted to give up. It was a very dark time as life as I knew it was gone. He’s been my biggest cheerleader and supporter! :)
