Alex
I sincerely hope that Ann will get the care she needs at the facility. I am truly sorry that the separation has become necessary, however it seems to be a top shelf facility one worthy of Ann. Best of luck through this hard time my friend, and safe trip to British Columbia.

Alex,
best of luck, you and Ann are in my prayers.

Best wishes to you and Ann. She is clearly well loved. You need to allow yourself the respite, and will be better able to deal with the situation having had it. Respite is not a sidetrip, it is part of the main journey, and a necessary one. Divert yourself, and find a way to get a lot of sleep. You will be able to serve yourself and Ann better if you take such respite from time to time. It's been a hard lesson, but one I have had to learn over several years...Cheers!

Alex:

You'll be coming at a beautiful time of the year. As for the respite, I have been through this in my life also and it turned out that the "time off" was a good thing for all parties. My best to you and Ann.

Sorry to hear of the circumstances Alex.

Let us know when in August and I'll see if I can pop over to Victoria to visit friends and have a meet up with you and Steve.

I am sure this has been a difficult decision, Alex, but you are entitled to a life as well and I am sure Ann will be well looked after and comfortable there.

Over the course of the past few years I have always enjoyed your photographs of and around your home and the people you've shared it with...especially your wife. I have noticed how you have tried your very best under the circumstances to always include Ann. One of the common known wedding vows, "for better or for worse" definitely applies here in your case. A very good example. You're a good man Alex and a dutiful if not loving husband to Ann which by the way makes her very blessed.

I wish only the very best for both of you.

Alex, sorry to hear of the trouble. My family is going through very much the same thing with my father. It has been terribly hard on my mother, all of my prayers are with you at this time.
