Never Take Your Husband For Granted

Michele, on August 22, 2012 at 4:02 PM Posted in Married Life 0 73

I am stunned and feel empty right now. I don't really post here that much, and I doubt anyone really knows, but my husband lost his battle with liver cancer. No, when we married we did not know he had cancer-he was diagnosed just a few months after our 1st anniversary. I never dreamed I would have waited until I was 50 to marry the best man ever, only to lose him 2 years later. I feel as though life is ending right now.

I do not mean to bring tragic news to such a happy place as this. However, treasure your future spouses. Honor them, cherish them, do not waste one minute with them by being foolish. Life is so very short, and that person can be taken from you so very quickly. Always let your spouse know you love them-every day, whenever you talk to them. Let them know they have made your world a better place by simply being a part of your life. I wish every person here a lifetime of love and happiness with their partner.

    I'm so sorry Michele. I'm sure you've heard those words so many times they've kind of lost their meaning by now, but I truly mean them.

    Oh my GOD Michelle.

    I can't fathom what you must be feeling right now. I honestly can't. There are no words. I am so, so sorry.

    Please - let us all know if there is anything we can do. And I mean anything.

    And like Labake said - I remember you too. You give excellent, thoughtful, and kind advice. It has probably meant a lot more to people than you realize.

    You will have a lot of thoughts and prayers coming your way.

    I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I will be sending my prayers your way. And thank you very much for the reminder. A lot of us can get so tied up in stuff that we often forget what we should be truly thankful for.
