Never Take Your Husband For Granted

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.

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.

    Im sorry for your loss, at the very least you can be thankful that you were blessed with the love of such an amazing man. I know its tough, keep your head up, he would want you to be happy and live a good life. I know it takes time to get over but itll pass and youll be a stronger person when all is said and done.

    Thank you for the advice, people so frequently forget that we don't live forever and tend to overlook the little things and take others for granted. I could never begin to understand your pain.

    OMG Michele!! I was a new member around here when you two got married, and I believe I remember your posts about his diagnosis as well. But I am incredibly sorry to hear about this ;( I can't even imagine the pain you are in. My heart hurts for you. Stay strong and thank you for the reminder.

    I will definitely be living by your advice. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss; I'm sure it's hard to know that he is gone, but cherish the fact that he was brought into your life, and that you were able to spend those two years with the man you loved and who loved you in return. My prayers are with you.

    Michelle,

    I am so sorry for your loss. I know nothing can be said to change what has already happened, but I really want to thank you for your post. Too often we forget what we have in front of us and a reminder like this, while very sad, is truly important. Thank you for sharing this with us!

    There are no words for something as heartbreaking as this and"I'm sorry" seems like so little (even though I mean it). But I can guarantee you that I will go home tonight, wraps my arms around my husband and make sure I tell him I love him. Thank you for the reminder.
