Tom,
I am humbled by your remarks, thank you! I understand your frustration for sure being away from Pam. For 33 years of marriage my husband's profession has him away from me much of the year , he was in Japan at the time of my health issues in Sept. We both felt pretty helpless for not being together at that time when we both really needed to be. I realize I don't know the two of you but you should know many of us women who deal with extended times of seperation from our spouses, we are strong, stronger even, than many times our husband's realize. We have learned to deal with these times apart and I am just betting your wife is one of these strong women. She must be strong considering all she is dealing with, and you did say she is religious. Her faith alone will sustain her till you can be together again. You know certainly from a scientific sense, "it's always darkest before the dawn" I am sure she knows that from a spiritual sense. so hang in there Tom, Pam you will both emerge stronger on the other side.
Oh and by the way my mother and sister in law live in Carpinteria just over the bluff overlooking Carp State Beach, small world after all ! Thoughts and prayers with you both. Keep us posted on Pam's situation.
