Let me start from the outset with a dear story.
I intend yous all retrieve the One Room Challenges that I direct maintain done for my sisters. The real firstly i was for "the Bunny" who is two years younger than me.
Maggie is married to Brad. They met over xxx years agone when they were both Flight Attendants together with it was a whirlwind romance! Bradley Virgil a confirmed bachelor met Patricia Jackson together with that was it! He nicknamed her Magnolia [he was a California boy] together with she has been "Maggie" ever since!
Look at that smile.
They got married on Valentines Day....no hoopla...just them.
He only adored her from the beginning. Brad ever said that she made him laugh.....really laugh.
They had Taylor correct away together with I know everyone says this but Brad was 100% inward alongside having kids. He made the snacks.....did the homework....a real hands on Dad.
I am non going to nation in that place weren't difficult times. As everyone knows marriage is non easy....add kids to the mix together with yous only get to navigate through the crude oil patches relying on your love. It worked for them. They came out the other side withal passionate most each other.
Caitlin came along two years later....
I was ever envious of the dear they had for each other together with their kids. It was together with then strong.....
Taylor got married firstly together with gave our household unit of measurement the firstly grandchild [Lucas] two years ago. Brad together with Maggie could non direct maintain been to a greater extent than inward love.
Caitlin got married final summer....
Brad together with Maggie celebrating that wonderful day!
The kids are grown together with gone....
They wing together....
A yr agone Brad retired to savour life. He lived to direct maintain attention of Maggie....did the grocery shopping, operate inward the yard, cooking together with play golf. That's what yous produce when yous direct maintain worked difficult all your life. Time to relax.
It started alongside heartburn six or together with then months ago. The variety that a whole bottle of Tums provides no relief. And everyday yous intend I take away to instruct to the Dr. to encounter what this is all about.
PSA. Do it.
The engagement 3 weeks agone was for a range together with the diagnosis was supposed to endure anything but what came next.
It was a Tuesday morning....I was abode when Maggie called me. I heard her nation the words Cancer.....we both sobbed. No this could non be. Not Brad.
Not Brad together with Maggie. Not now.
Esophageal cancer...stage three.
So many doctors appointments....surgeons, oncologist, nutritionists.....it is overwhelming.
You take away heed words similar staging, spreading, mapping, chemo, radiation.....ports....feeding tubes.....and HOPE.
Hope.....it seems similar such a soft discussion when yous pose it similar that. I hateful wish, goal, plan, dream is non what anyone wants to hear. That is similar proverb nosotros are offering rainbows together with unicorns.
Suddenly sofas together with drapery treatments don't experience that important.
Brad....we are alongside you. How trite does that sound?
You are the i who has to produce the difficult work.
You were i of the firstly to exhibit upwards when I came abode five months agone to my hubby beingness gone.
I can't fifty-fifty start to pose inward words how I feel....how mad I am at this. This is the struggle of your life my friend.
