Chris, you have my heartfelt sympathy, and know that if we could lighten your pain, we would. However, the pain we feel now is part of the payback for the joy we got when our loved ones with were with us in body. It never does, nor should it, lessen, we just learn to temper it with the smiles that fond memories give us.
As for that guy who checks in on you; he's just that kind of person, and kept me company many hours when I was in and out off hospital last spring. We're lucky there are guys like that around. The ones who think to pick up the phone just to say 'howya doin?' are not so common as they used to be.
