My dear Bob, First let me agree with those that say your contribution to this list has been incredible, both knowledgeable and funny. Second...I am sorry about your illness....and knowing just what it is like to live with someone in that situation, I will wish you and your family the best...BUT that is ALL I will say...for YOU are not the illness. We Armstrongs are strong stock. My mother always told me..."Be Proud of who you are and where you come from", and I never understood what she meant totally until I started researching my family. All I can say is my heart and thoughts are with you. And talk to those grandchildren. Tell them about your life and WHO you are. Sure they may sometimes seem uninterested right now...but trust me they will remember. By passing on our history to those we love we pass on a part of ourselves. Enjoy your life Bob. Know there are those who may have never met you but still care about you. And most of all......Thank you for sharing with all us other Armstrongs out here. God Bless you.
