and I would be so proud if you were my rock (but I have my own rock now, thank god). Each of us goes through our trials and tribulations on our own, and when the times get rough, or that an extra pair of hands would help, I only hope that help is readily available.
In STLMO, we do have neighborhood watch organizations that helps our senior citiizens, keep an eye out for things amiss, and generally, just keep an eye on things. Here's some FYI, perhaps it'll help guide you. My best to you and your wife!
