Included among those persons in the Dear Ann Landers: I've been reading your column for years and have never seen a certain problem discussed. It's one I need help with right now. What do you think about so-called friends who refuse to visit an invalid who has a terminal, non-infectious illness with the . excuse that “it hurts too much to see such deterioration"? They “say, “The reason I don't come over to see that darling man is because I would rather remember him as he was.” . My husband is the invalld. His loneliness is breaking my. hearts He asks every day, “Is somebody coming?” I realize he has - lost a lot of weight and his color isn't good, but hestill has the same bright mind and lovely personality. T'm running out of excuses as to why this one and that one haven't been by. I-can’t tell him they say it’s too hard on them to sce him looking so bad. What is your opinion of these people? Are they justified? Am 1 wrong to think they are phonies? —Wife Of A Deserted Man Dear Wife: Real friends somehow muster the courage to visit \ ‘someone who {s terminally ill, if they really care—provided, of _ course, the patient wants company. Some don't. | Those who say they would rather remember your husband as he was are reaching for an alibiand when you don't want to do |. something, one excuse is as good as another. Y ° ar ae ee CARS.

Loved the guy enough to help him over the hurdles. I started to read aloud to him as well as to the children. I tactfully brought him into conversations and corrected him gently, in private, when he: made mistakes in grammar, Eventually, his manner of expressing himself improved, and so did his thinking. It didn't happen overnight, but by the time our three children graduated from high schoo! their father could have been atthe top of the class. What did it? Love. If that woman really cared about her man ‘she would have helped him instead’ of complain about how he ~ embarrassed her. Sign me y —Proud of Mine Dear Proud: You sound like a neat lady.

She takes better care of her brother than she does of me. I told her last night enough is enough and I want the bum out of here. She says he is staying and if I don’t like it {set ital) I {end ital) can move. Any. advice, Ann? —Sick Of Being Sponged Off Dear S Off: You don’t have to get out.
