I am a 62 year old retired nurse. I was with my darling John for 43 amazing years. We had our tiffs, of course, but always loved each other deeply. His last words to me were in reply to me saying I loved him, he replied, I love you too. He was diagnosed in April and died in early October. We had no children, but shared a love of animals. (We lost our lovely old horse on July 1st, which was hard on both of us.) My John was the love of my life and my soul mate. I will miss him for ever, and love him forever. X
