Dear Cori,
You were blessed to have been brought up in a house
filled with love. My parents celebrated their 51st
anniversary April 10, so I, too, have wonderful memories
to cherish forever. I've been married for 29 years to a
wonderful man who is as heartbroken about dad's
sickness as I. Love is what life is about, isn't it?
Love,
Wendy
