First: congratulations to Zo ! So happy for him.

Illness is a journey...it is uphill through all sorts of weather and obstacles. It's never knowing what is awaiting around the corner.

It's always being *on*. Hyper vigilant to every changing scenario. Hard to even wrap your head around on a good day.

But at the end of the journey , and there always is an end, you are left with the questions of what you could've, should've done better...or what you forgot to do...or if you had only....

There is nothing you could've done better. Your love and care shine through even through the heartbreak. We do the best we can under the circumstances of any given day.

Caretakers are sometimes forgotten in the throes of someone's illness/condition.

You are a hero to Bella Will, and you honor her daily with your patience and love. Be kind and gentle to yourself also.

Touching column.

(Norwegian Ronald Amundsen may have been born a Norwegian subject of Denmark but he was born a Norwegian, was a Norwegian when he and his team successfully first sailed the Northwest Passage, was a Norwegian when he and his team were first to the South Pole, and was a Norwegian when he and his team disappeared on a rescue mission in the Arctic, likely dying in a plane crash or soon afterward)
