Biography

I am a 55 year old married to a wonderful musician who was diagnosed with a gbm in October 06. It is an incredibly difficult journey for us both. As strange as it sounds, instead of growing closer we are growing apart. I cannot find the words to describe the sadness. We have been married 27 years this June.
