And, you know, we lived very publicly.

We have a lot of people, we wrote about it, and a lot of people walked alongside us.

So we kept hearing people say, gosh, you're doing such a noble job.

Well, thank you.

And I'm honored that people think that.

And technically it was true.

My vet, who's a good friend of mine, said, man, I don't know anybody going through this the way you guys are doing this.

And I said, well, Dave, his name is Dave too.

Thanks for saying that, but I gotta be honest with you.

We're just trying to take the easiest path we can.

Most people who are in denial and resistance just make it harder and more painful.

We're just trying to do this thing as easily as we possibly can.

Hmm.

Yeah, we had really worked on being good acceptors for a long time.

You know, we were a second marriage.

We had both been through failed marriages, and we understood the finitude of relationship, and we were thrilled to be happily married to somebody.

They were not horrible marriages, but marriages that didn't last, and we were thrilled that we had a second shot.

One of our kids, you know, is bipolar and drags a heavy bag behind him.

He's now happily married with two kids, has a wonderful life, but it didn't come easy.

You know, and these are not things you can negotiate easily with.
