New Leaf, how very sweet of you to take the time to comment, especially after all the things that you're going through right now.

My husband is 10 years older than I am…and I do think he has a problem, not with MY aging, but with his "own" aging. He likes to count himself to the young 'uns. He is in great shape and looks more like 55 than 68, but still, maybe you are on to something there.

Yes, we ladies got to be strong. I'm sure it is very hard for you too, since you still love your husband. We have to look out for ourselves and trust our instincts.

Isn't it a blessing to be able to let yourself fall in this forum, and be picked up by all these gentle hands?
