Thank you for posting this. I would not have seen it otherwise. How sad to hear he and his wife are separated. Illness and near death affect people in ways that can't be predicted or even understood, not just the ones that are ill, but those that love them. It's a tough tough place to be in and it's hard to know what to do when so much has happened. I've been there too, and sadly the relationship did not survive either, not for lack of trying on both sides, but sometimes there's just way too much water under over and around the bridge for the relationship to ever gel again.
The other line that jumped out at me way "in that moment, I knew I was learning something I wasn't old enough to know." That's how I've always felt about Lightfoot songs. What I may not have understood at 12 or 20 or even 30, at some point I finally get. And I'm sure there are Lightfoot lines and songs still out there waiting to switch the light bulb on in my head. I think that's what the work of a true artist brings to someone's life.
