Cancer does not only kill people but it wipes out their dreams. Dreams of a bright future and the dream of growing old together. Today, my husband’s professional dream died. It was released to the press that he will not be coming back as CEO. The process to replace him has begun.
This is sad for so many reasons. All the years and sacrifices we made to get his dream job and now we need to ask ourselves “was it all for nothing?” He worked so hard and for so long for the company he loves. He wasn’t just the CEO of this company, he was the company. He has worked there his entire adult life. Everything we own and everything we have has been because he worked for this company.
It is sad to say goodbye to that part of our life. Our jobs somehow become a part of who we are. It is like a part of us is dying. I feel so bad for him. I wish there was something I could do. For now, all we can do is spend time together, not knowing how long we have left.
