retirement activities

She is now an invalid, and I am her caregiver, a task I take on willingly
out of love. I can never repay her for the support she has given me all
these years, but I try.

There are some people, even on Usenet, that just exude class and honor.
Paul,
IMO you are one such gentleman.

Thanks Peter,

I am sure there are many others doing the exact same thing I am. My reason
for posting was to let the OP know that wives do adapt and become helpmates
as well as to confirm, from my own experience, all that Dudley said.

Regards,
Paul
