Husband lost his fight to stage 4 colon cancer

in Colorectal Cancer #1

 

On Tuesday November 18, 2014 at 9am, my husband lost the fight, he went peacefully in my arms. I was with him holding his face looking him in his eyes giving him praises for being such a wonderful man and making us so happy. He did his job!

He was surrounded by all of his family members the night before, we prayed and loved on him. 

Cancer is a thief it steels everything except your soul, pride and the wonderful memories I have with my husband. He was a great dad and he loved his family so hard and it showed. Maybe one day I will get through the day without looking to my side and wondering why he is not there. He has been there for 26 years and I will never know another person like him.

I have decided this is just an adjustment to not physically seeing him he will always walk with me.  R.I.P my angel!

My prayers go out to everyone who is dealing with this awful disease.

    CP, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Let your memories and the love you shared give you the strength that you will need to get through this loss, and his absence. That would be the best way to honor his life, and in his love for you it's what he would want too.
