Bob
I'd like to think that I have the greatest husband of all, but I'm sure there are alot of women who would disagree with me, so I'll say I have ONE of the greatest husbands out there. Bob and I have been married for 29 years this past November, together for 32 years. The constant joke between us was that he married a younger woman to take care of him when he got "old", as he is 13 years older than me. Little did he know what he was getting himself into. He has been by my side thru many illnesses, surgery's and life's bumps in the road thru the years. However nothing has been harder than this journey thru cancer, not once but twice!! He has been by my side every step of the way, making me laugh, lifting up my spirits and taking care of me. He has taken over all the daily chores of running a house, cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, laundry etc...all without complaint. Our plans were to travel when he retired from Ford a few years ago. So far we have kept to that plan, traveling to Mexico several times a year so he can scuba dive and I can sit on the beach and read. We have plans to go to Europe in the fall, and a trip of a lifetime to Fiji next winter. Cancer is not going to keep us from our dreams, it's just making it alittle more challenging. We will continue to go to chemo and Dr. appointments, have good days and bad days, all the while knowing that the sun will shine down on us sitting on a beach somewhere in the world and all will be ok.

You do have a wonderful husband...I have always said every woman should have a husband like your Bob. You are so lucky to have him. You will fulfill both of your dreams with your travels, yes, you are facing and going through a terrible challenge, but Marcia you have always been a fighter as long as I have known you and you WILL have a beautiful life. Every day I think of you and every night a prayer for you. Hopefully after the holidays we can get together before you go to Mexico and I leave for Arizonia. Love you girlfriend.

I understand those thoughts, Joe is 16 years older than me. By the grace of God we are both healthy but I have no doubt he would be "my Bob" if anything happened to me....your outlook on life is wonderful, try very hard not to lose that. I wish you both many beaches and sunny days together....love you!
