Honestly, your words are quite overwhelming! I am often surprised at how others look at us. When you grow up together, always as good friends, it just seems natural and normal. When you travel together 24/7 for almost 8 years, it only continues to seem natural to stay together when things go south, so to speak. Believe me, there is nothing inherently "good" about caregiving for my brother ... not when it would be inconceivable to do differently. Still, that does not detract at all from the pleasure those words give. I don't know if you saw my piece On Exploration (in my own publication, not in Engage) but the intro photo is Steve and myself ... showing how young we were when we first contemplated going out into the world. Thank you so much for all the kind words and prayers (and Reiki too). They are all so uplifting to my day.
