Mandy,
These are such simple ideas to remember, but so very important. So much is unspoken and unseen with this disease that we must not allow it to wedge and fragment ourselves from our most cherished and loved.
Thank you are sharing this with us, both in your last post and in this one.

I like that you used the words "unspoken and unseen." They are propably the two most important things in a marriage, especially one invaded by multiple sclerosis.
Communication is so much more than words!
Thanks, Lisa.
