That's a beautiful story Suez and one I can relate too. Steve was given 6-12 months, possibly 2 years to live when he was diagnosed. After 20 years together we decided to get married at the end of his treatment. Our first wedding anniversary is Saturday november 20. In that one year of marriage I've recieved enough love to last me a lifetime. Steve continues to defy the odds and if love can keep someone well then I've got a whole lot of love for him. We've spent 18 months living each day, day by day. It's only now that we are daring to think and plan for the future.

Jim, I did tear up also at this story and as always I think your awesome smile
