my wife and I celebrate our 10th year together this week! We are facing the future together by changing the layout and furnishings for our future home: Less furniture, adopting a more minimalist style so I can navigate the floor space better as o continue to lose sight. Facing the inevitable but hoping for better research in the next years.

my friends are being patient with the changes; offering to drive me ay might et. al.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst......Good that you have someone to face it with you. X

I think "minimalist" is easier to keep clean too...or so my friends say.. .....haven't got there yet myself, still too attached to stuff lol

Congratulations for your 10th Anniversary!!!! And well done, Mrs HollyG, for helping your hubby through and beyond his difficult time.

It is always good to have family and friends to support one in times of need. And indeed, we all hope for this miracle cure that one day will make life better for so many people. Never stop hoping, and meanwhile make the best of life if you can.

Wishing you all the best.
