Great article Ron.
If your girls ever need someone to talk with my wife would be a good one. She lost her mother (1990) at the age of 12 with the first round of brain cancer. Her mom was left in a invalid state (partially brain dead) until the cancer came back a second time which took her life in 2005. My wife was 27 cared for her mother for 15 years in between, making meals, spoon feeding at times, giving baths, changing Depends, etc. All while going to school, playing sports, working, going to college, and beginning a family of her own. My son was born 2 days after Grandma died. Your girls remind me.....of my wife. They (are) will become strong willed girls.
