Today is his birthday

My husband lost his fight with stage IV stomach cancer on July 30, 2009. Today would have been his 39th birthday. He was dx in January and his cancer was very agressive. So although we were prayerful and hopeful, we knew it was a up hill battle. We have 2 young boys, ages 11 and 7. We are doing okay. Just taking it day by day. I lot of people are very surprised that I'm not balled up in a corner somewhere but I have to be there for my boys. Don't get me wrong, I have bad days where I cry most of the time but if I find myself falling into a deep funk, I pull out some old pictures that make me smile. It just feels so weird that he is not here. |

been through what you are enduring just now, but there was a time when my children were 12 and 1 that breast cancer hit (me), and then hit again 1 1/2 years later. I know what you mean about not allowing yourself to ball up in a corner and leave your children to face this crisis on their own. We moms (and dads) get on with it because we know our kids are watching how we handle things and taking their cues from us. We can't let them down. Your efforts will not go unrewarded. Your children will become stronger, wiser individuals because of the example you are setting for them now.
God's blessings on you and your children.
