What you are, aside from what you are going through, is a strong couple that deeply love each other. What is not 'want to be' about that?Dean6805 says,
You have written of a wonderful love, DDC. It's something to aspire to.canadafreeze says,
There is a quote from "Steel Magnolias" that comes to mind, " I'd rather have 30 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special". Perhaps a little corny, but it appears that you and James have had a lifetime of wonderful. You are very, very lucky to have found each other.DynamicDbytheC says,
That is a lovely quote. When the day comes and cancer wins, I will have to keep memories of all that we had. I am unlucky in health, but I won the lottery in love.jl333 says,
Turn that into a sixer DD. Unlucky in health, won love lottery.lillybrook says,
DDC - I agree with all that has been said here; they should STILL want to be you. Even through this, you have kept focus on what is important in your relationship, you have loved and supported when it's not easy, and you count every day together as something to cherish. You are an amazing couple.
