I cried reading this. I'm very sorry for your loss, Janet. I can't even write a response.

(I've taken five minutes to compose myself.)

It sounds like you were a wonderful friend to Troy, right to the very end. This is a beautiful tribute to him and you clearly loved him very much.

This is the best piece of writing I have read in a long time.

My thoughts are with you. Please keep writing and letting us know that you are alright.
