great words of love re; Mick, I've been thinking about what McCain's and Simon's families have gone through. I know you've had your agonies. My Darling of 33 years passed in April, following a long fight with heart problems. In her last 8 months she went into dementia. I have some advise for families that are facing what we've gone through . I borrowed it from "Camelot" The way to handle an infirm loved one is to love them. Simply love them. B2B
