I lost my husband to cancer. It's a real wake up call to those left behind. I now have a new husband (6 yrs this summer) and I so appreciate and love him. I also don't want him to have the feelings I had when my husband died. you see, my husband wouldn't quit smoking. I felt he didn't love me enough to want to grow old together. So now I take care of myself (I've never smoked - but I DO love food) and I've been losing weight. I exercise more and plan to be around for a good long time. This story says the same thing only in a different way. Do not take your loved ones for granted. Thank you for posting this story.
