<font color="#008800"> JourneyUpward,

I know exactly what you are talking about. I've been the 'strong one' for my family and friends for a long time now. you are lucky to have your husband by your side! don't forget that...

as for feeling like a failure, i feel that way every day. my mind doesn't work like it use to. it makes me feel horrible to know that i can't do the same things that i could once do with ease.
