I think that was so sweet of your wife to mention your son. I have a married sister who I am very close to that lives nearby. It's just her, my brother in law and nephew and my dad left in my immediate family. I try to count my blessings that I have her. She just recently went through a recurrence of cancer and I was so afraid that I was going to lose her. I am not religious but God definately intervened on my behalf.

I know what you mean about being self centered when depressed. I try to make it a point to reach out to others who are suffering, makes me feel less alone while battling this illness. TY again for your kind words, it really makes a difference!
