Sheila,
I was so happy to read your post today. I'm glad that you and Michael had the opportunity to spend time together and talk. Being a caregiver is very difficult. I lost my son to leukemia at age 36 in 2002 and your post made me realize jsut how difficult it was on me while he was going through his treatment. The hardest thing for Michael must be the fear of losing you -- you have been so strong through all of this. I know that the both of you will weather this storm and come out stronger than ever. You're in my prayers.
