So how has your relationship with Susie changed since her diagnosis, if, if at all?

Um, it's become much deeper and much more meaningful.

The circumstance...

No, no, that, that's not right.

If this happens to your life partner, what you're faced with is the opportunity to share in something that no one else is going to experience, regardless of how close they are to you or how much they care.

They come and visit, they sympathize, they go home.

They go back to their lives.

Is there anything else you want the listeners to know or to take away from your story?
