Secret Cancer

So New Year’s Day was terrible. While everyone was wishing friends and family a happy new year, we were called to the hospital to say goodbye to husband, father, and son. The doctor believed that my husband was leaving this world behind and we needed to come and say goodbye. This was the worst experience of my life. Having to watch my son cry on his fathers shoulder, while telling him he loves him and he is going to miss him, broke my heart into a thousand pieces. I am actually surprised I physically survived this. The Good news is…… he is still here and getting better.

The question is how? How is this possible? He went from deaths door to talking and eating better than he has in a week. Friends and family prayed for him throughout the night. When he woke up, he told his mom that, “you cannot just give up, you need to fight”. I love this man more than anything. I want to thank God and all the people that prayed for him. He is still with us and getting better everyday. Two days later and we are going strong. Still living at the hospice center but life is good.

The nurses and doctors are so nice and helpful. They will do anything to make sure we are ok and comfortable. Sometimes we can even pretend that we are in a hotel watching tv before bed. I pulled my bed together with his and we held heads all night watching tv and just spending time together. For now life is bearable.
