lynne Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Sorry that it has been such a long time since I posted. Life has not been easy for several months now. Dean's condition continued to worsen over the last few months. He went on Iressa, but without any results. He was admitted to Hospice on the Saturday before Easter and left this earth for a better place on early Sunday morning April 25th. It has not been easy, but Bethany and I are continuing to get out of bed in the mornings, and trying to continue where our lives left off seven months ago. The older kids are coping as well as can be expected. Our daughter will graduate on May 15th, and she is having a hard time knowing that her dad won't be there to see her graduate from college. Life goes on.... My prayers will continue for all of you battling this horrible disease! Lynne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimd Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Lynne: May God give you, Bethany and your entire family comfort during your loss. Dean is in a better place with no suffering and may you find peace in the wonderful memories you will always cherish. Taking one day at a time seems to help me and some are better than others. Our lives are changed forever when we lose our love ones, but we go on as they would want us to. I miss my dad terribly, but find that I can instill his strength, values and morals in my sons. I'm sure Bethany was inspired during her dad's illness and saw how much courage he had. God Bless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoniRobertWilson Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 I'm truly sorry for you and your children. It's not enough that you've had to fight a horrible battle but then to lose your husband anyway, it's hard for me to make sense of that. I can just pray that your daughter will understand that although he isn't there for the graduation itself he was there for everyday leading up to it and for that let her be thankful, which in turn will hopefully lead to God's peace in her heart. God Bless your family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
