With such love you have completed the circle of love with Roberta. Nature comes often into your poems but how better to express awe and beauty. I wonder if you ever write poems solely in Spanish - or even if your poems are translations of what began in Spanish. Being a student of this lovely language I would like to read one - was able to understand the feelings you expressed so well at the end of your dia de Madre.

I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers, trusting in a good outcome. And I know what you mean about the calmness that emerges in these times, the understanding that we are surrendering to a force greater than ourselves. I am glad to know your wife has you so strongly and comfortingly by her side. I will walk with you through this passage as I read the poems you write to chart your way through.
