I found this line so touching, "In the later stages of the disease, I was living his life for him." How well I remember getting my mom into the shower, washing her hair, standing by as she brushed her teeth, changing her clothes, clipping her nails. It was like tending to a child who didn't know how to do those things for herself. And, yes, the responsibility of being on call 24/7 -- sleeping with my ears open in case she needed me, those long months of jigsaw puzzles, drawing, word games, reading to her. Your articles are always empathetically right on point, Janice. I thank you for that.
