While there is never a good time to receive a cancer diagnosis, Bob's cancer was found after we had been married for only 2 1/2 months & just 3 days after we returned from an incredible Germany honeymoon. While cancer has already taught us some life lessons, it has also put pressure on our newlywed status. Our relationship is solid & we were committed to one another long before we professed our marriage vows. But some times I have to wonder why couldn't we have had a few months to get adjusted to living together & get used to just being married. Don't get me wrong, I love this man o' mine & even if I knew on March 27th what our future would hold, I wouldn't have changed a thing. I don't think I would ever be prepared for what we've already gone thru & what the future may hold, but sometimes I have to wonder. We will see each other thru whatever the future brings, but, like all people living with cancer, Bob deserves alot of happy days in the future. May everyone here be granted many, many happy days!
