I want to comment, but I can't because nothing I can say will do justice.

All I can say is AMEN and we thought we had tough problems in our 61 years together. Hang in there Kathe the angels are with you. Gail

Kathe, What a Beautiful Story written by a loving Wife and Beautiful Person.
"Your Ken" reminds me of the "Stubborn German" that does it "HIS WAY" regard-
less; even after 44 years - nothing has changed. Thank Goodness, for the Angels that surround us and protect us each day.

Even in the difficulties and trials of life, Kathe retains her joie de vivre and sense of humor. Thanks for the touching recollections of a time past.

Dear Kathe,

Why is it that I can read one of your stories that I have read before, and I enjoy it as much as the first time? Sometimes even more. Simple fact is--your words wear well, and you touch so many hearts with what you say.
Love,
Nancy

Kathe - Thanks for the heartfelt glimpse of your wonderful Ken. The dynamic relationship you two shared is an excellent example of true love and devotion between a man and a woman. We should all be so lucky.

Kathe, the other comments summed up your story and relationship with Ken so well, and I just want to add that not only is it apparent that you are blessed to have had over half a century with your beloved, but he was just as blessed to have that many yers with you as his bride.

Dear Kathe:
A wonderful story of a man's determination to live life, and smile through the chaos of it all. You say God sent the nurses etc.to be by his side, and I say that God sent you to be there by his side as well.
It also makes me proud to be a 'NURSE'!
Thank you for appreciating nurses. I bet the staff caring for Ken loved it.
Bonnie.

Another beautiful story Kathe. As they all are, but this one, I felt your pain from remembering and missing this great guy you love so dearly. Hang in there friend. Keep the stories coming strong, brave lady!

Kathe Campbell gives us a glimpse of the ups and downs of life along with the good things that are a part of life. Her writings are always uplifting. I think Kathe should write a book starting from our childhood continuing to present time. Millie Jones
