Last night LucyAnn was feeling a lot of head and neck pain so she laid back against me on the couch and I gave her a head massage. Brief tears came to me as I felt how comfortable and familiar the 32 years of being together has made us, our bodies and hearts having become an extension of each other. I felt privileged to be able to provide at least a bit of comfort for her. I think one of the hardest things for me going forward will be to watch LucyAnn experience the pain and discomfort of side effects of her treatment and to know that I can only do so much to relieve her pain. But I will do what I can.
