For what it is worth, old bird, the 5 replies above are from people who have followed your news without the aid of any jungle drums but who have genuinely cared, hoped and prayed for you and your beloved "boy".
ducksie is in the Republic of Ireland, anneasquith in the east of Scotland, albaqwerty in the west of Scotland, jennyjoan in Northern Ireland and I am in England. I hope that in some way this helps you to know how these who are "strangers" to you do care. To offer any support or advice is a kindness shown brought about by your story that has moved each of us.
That story does not end here. If you wish it to continue I am sure we will be here for you still.
From my point of view I take comfort that the last words your devoted husband heard were probably those when you told him you loved him and he replied with a smile. x
