No worries, I am still a cynic because with a terminal illness forever for me means something a lot different than it does to most people.

Mind you, if a miracle comes and I live another thirty years? I think I'd still find myself married to Cal.

Have I confused you yet? Because I confused me.
I don't know if I would ever get married. I haven't really thought that much about it, to be honest. Hell, the concept of living with someone still is "iffy" for me Well, I should say....for may years was "iffy" and now I can think about it without sweating and feeling nauseous.

So, I guess I am softening in my age

Not confused...I think I get it. And I think having a terminal illness puts a way different perspective on things
