I can imagine what you are going through...I've had a family member recently very ill with brain cancer (brother in law) but he is doing very well (and this was after the doctors were not so optimistic about him). But nothing can be more excruciating then the thought of my dear hubby battling something like this. All my good thoughts and hopes for better news and a better future for you. <BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/><BR/>Denise A. AgnewDenise A.

But you have to deal with what you are given. And it looks like you're going to enjoy your time, no matter how long that is. I hope it's long and miraculous.<BR/><BR/>You two are in my thoughts and prayers.

But your VH has such inner strength, and so do you. It comes through in your post and in what you quote from him.<BR/><BR/>And to know that every moment you have is precious makes your love for each other even stronger. Hang onto that because that love keeps you going.<BR/><BR/>I'll keep you both in my prayers every day.Jaci Burtonhttp://www.jaciburton.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476671.post-1167767129640010902007-01-02T14:45:00.000-05:002007-01-02T14:45:00.000-05:00Ellen, you're in our thoughts.

I'm in tears. I can't possibly come up with the words to express how much your post has touched me. I went downstairs and gave my husband a big hug. I can't imagine what you must be going through.

It's not fair that such a good, young man has this awful disease. I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts, and hoping for the best possible outcome in this horrible situation.

The writing will take care of itself. Your talent will always be there. We're all hoping the same thing is true for your husband.

And it's totally unfair. The wife of a friend of my husband's died at 37 (of cancer) and left behind four children. Somehow, they soldier on. But I can't imagine how difficult it must have been for him, how difficult this time is for you and your family. You have fantastic resolutions for the new year, and I wish you, your husband and children moments of peace and a lifetime of strength in the days to come.<BR/><BR/>CindyCindy Procter-Kinghttp://www.cindyprocter-king.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7476671.post-1167414635702761442006-12-29T12:50:00.000-05:002006-12-29T12:50:00.000-05:00<I>But as the year ends, I'm very grateful for the life I've had with VH... because I'd rather have been married to him for fifteen years than to anyone else for fifty.</I><BR/><BR/>This...this made me weep for you, because it was beautifully said and because I can't imagine being in your shoes. I wish no one ever had to go through what you, and your children, and most especially the VH are.
