It was the best seven months of my life. Maybe I don39。t actually 3 that. But it was certainly the time when I felt most 4 . During those seven months, I came to 5 that whatever else I did in my life, nothing would 6 more than taking care of my husband.

In the days after Bill39。s diagnosis and brain surgery, being his caregiver also meant being fully 11 as much as possible. During his last weekend, when we had dinner together a relative visited. I 12 that she39。d changed her appearance, and not in a good way. It was the kind of 13 I39。d usually keep to 14 . Just then, Bill voiced 15 what I39。d been thinking, in that truthful way he had, and I found myself 16 out loud. I thought I could live with this man forever, but he 17 in four days.

I try to be a little less judgmental, a little more generous, a little more 19 for the small moments in life. I am a better person for having been Bill39。s caregiver. It was his last, best 20 to me.1. A. routineB. courseC. eventD. basis
