Father God,
Give me the strength to help my husband face death with serenity and grace.
Give us the peace we need to make the most of our time together.
And give us Your love in abundance.
Remind him I am with him to the end.
Amen.

    Praying for him
    I'm praying for your husband. Have things gotten worse?? It's so hard to go through this and watch our loved ones suffer. Please hang in there, you've been good to him and all you can do now is just take one day at a time. Keep us posted. "Carole"

    Holding You Close in Prayer
    What a beautiful, heartfelt prayer. I'm sure that your husband know that you are with him, as you have been through this entire process. God indeed holds you close in His love, and He will continue to be with you and your husband, now and for eternity.
    My heart aches for you....

    no time
    surgery left him with microscopic cells Oct 1. the tumor goes from his skull base all along his carotid. its strangling his carotid. all rads and chemo would do is buy time, and its a long shot. chemo alone would be pallative.

    he has weeks. I hope he makes his birthday feb 1. he'll be 40.

    love you monkey man.

    what I feared my wife would someday do for me. Glad you can share such a private moment with us and may the rest of us not forget how awful this cancer can be.
