Dear Ceil, I wonder how you and your beloved husband are doing? Tough times. Anniversaries and birthdays must be brutally painful...... but, married to someone as long as you have been, you will have created a bank full of associations. A piece of music.  photo. A view. A place you visited together......All of these will be painful and trigger heartbreak..... Contemplating the 'this will be the last time  we....' chokes us with grief..If we love, this is the unavoidable consequence when we are assaulted by the possibility of loss.

 My heart goes out to you..and your son. Impossibly difficult to imagine how those who care for us and love us must feel. I, personally, think it is much more difficult for those we leave.

 I hold you both in my thoughts and prayers.

 Cancer is a thief.....and steals happiness. I have a 'terminal' diagnosis myself and can relate to your pain. I see it in by brave boy's eyes daily as we fight this thing together.

 Know that you are loved. All will be well...... in the end.
