(((((Jon)))))
You've stayed when so many would have left.
You've loved till there was no more love to give, and then found a little more.
You've fought and tried and continued to believe, when it would have been so easy to give in and give up.
You've cried and hurt and railed and given all of you that there is to give.Jon, this is the greatest victory and greatest gift to your wife, to us, to humanity. I share a house with someone who has MS and much of what you describe is so very familiar to me. My heart truly goes out to you and your wife.
Please don't feel sad for her life, for she has known love in all it's colours, and in it's greatest glory. I was only ever able to give my grandfather one gift - and that was permission to go. The hardest gift of all.
Please know that you have not failed her, not in any way.
Please stay in touch and talk to us, please. Thank you for sharing your pain.
