Re: My lastest
Richard,
I admire you. Your courage, strength & faith have never wavered. You are a good man. I was especially touched by this remark:
My prayer for you is that you will be free from pain & discomfort. That your family will be comforted and find peace.
I thank you for sharing your journey, the hope, the fear, the joy, the despair.
You & your family are in my prayers daily.
Damn cancer.
I admire you. Your courage, strength & faith have never wavered. You are a good man. I was especially touched by this remark:
I should also include what I have gained through my cancer journey.
My wife (married 20 years on May 20th) and I have become so much closer. She is the best caregiver I could imagine having. She puts me first in everything. I thought I knew love, but she has shown me what true love really is. Her life revolves around me. I didn't ask for this, but she gives unconditionally. I would give up my life for her this very instant if called upon. This may sound crazy, but I want to get better for her sake more than my own. She did not sign up for this crap, but she faces it daily like a hero. I couldn't repay her in a thousand lifetimes. I would do chemo for the next 20 years for her. She deserves it!
My prayer for you is that you will be free from pain & discomfort. That your family will be comforted and find peace.
I thank you for sharing your journey, the hope, the fear, the joy, the despair.
You & your family are in my prayers daily.
Damn cancer.
