Trish,
I was so sorry to hear of Terry’s struggles. I know it was hard to take that journey with him, but he is now beginning his final journey. I drug out my HHH annuals and read your entry that said “lets always stay in touch.” I, like many I am sure, now wish we had. Hey, it is not too late.
Take care and know a zillion people have you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
