Ramblings Part 3 I have pictures of "Before", "During" and "After" her illness. The "During" is 
too painful to publish right now so I'll wait a while. The 'Before' is shown 
above as her in her blue dress.
 
 A little about my current state of mind...
 
 My wife meant everything in the world to me and, right now, I'm just lost.
 
I've lost close to 30 pounds in the last 2 and a half weeks (assuming mostly 
water from a huge leak in my eyes)... My doctor (was hers too) has me on 
anti-depression medication so I can function at all. In the last week, I've 
probably only slept a total of 12 hours... with the rest of the night spent 
staring at the ceiling. 
 I just returned to work Monday. They've been very understanding (thank God) and 
knew how much she meant to me.... heck... my co-workers were the hecklers that 
teased my wife and I for always holding hands, kissing and hugging "Just like 
school yard sweethearts".
 
 Slowly (very slowly) but surely, I'm coming back to life. I'm not gaining weight 
but haven't lost any more... back to the doctor this coming Tuesday for a full 
physical.
 
 While it's terrible to lose anyone you love, a spouse is exceptionally hard to 
lose. We always talked of growing old together and she promised to wipe my chin 
if I ever had a drooling problem <g>. She was simply amazing. I took so much for 
granted, it's nuts!
