Of course, I already know you are a wonderful writer and I always read anything with your byline. Saturday, 3/15/08 was my 28th Wedding Anniversary with the best husband that ever breathed and I know that like Mrs. Rhodes, I would find the strength and do what needed to be done for as long as I needed to do it and disregard others concern or opinions. Love is in the eye of the beholder and sadly even when one side is unresponsive the other just picks up the slack because of what once was. Mrs. Rhodes is indeed a role model, an Angel among us and a special individual on many levels and I thank you for introducing us to her and for bringing light to yet another area where our "health care system" is failing us. I hope your touching and honest portrayal and what must be the subsequent outpouring of support for her will further validate her decision and give her the strength she will surely need to face the future. Your empathy and intelligence shine through the article as always and you help us all to understand and hopefully ponder how to best "do something". A fan, Sandi Saunders - Hardy VA
