Anyshia,

You are my inspiration, my new hero! 

I can't wallow in self pity when I hear your story! I want to rant and rave because my husband was only 57 when he died of Stage IV Lung cancer, but I have the past 30 years of knowing him and 2 grown children to keep his memories alive. I, too, had less than a year between the diagnosis and his death...in some ways that was good. We got to say a lot of things that we might not have thought to say otherwise. We knew that every moment we had was precious. I am so happy for you that your husband saw the new baby! Bittersweet, to say the least.

I believe that you will heal with time. Talk with the kids, remind them how special their papi was. Keep pictures around. 

I pray that God keeps holding you and your family in his hands.
