Eli,
Ruth and I are just devastated. Your devotion, kindness, love, consideration, and humanity have been so apparent. We feel like we know you so well after spending more than a year talking to you, and even though so many of us have fought MDS together and been through the same types of treatments as Nellie, we can only begin to understand the heartache you and your daughters now feel. You have our deepest sympathies.
Even with the warning signs we get, none of us is every really ready to lose the battle or give up a loved one. We're relieved to hear that you and Nellie were able to exchange those last loving words and that she was able to go home where she wanted to be. When it comes to the end, knowing your family is there for you is what we all want.
You DID deserve Nellie, and she deserved a wonderful husband like you. We hope that your memories of wonderful times with her will bring you peace.
