+Dave 2,322 Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks you all very much. You know I am kind of relived he is gone, because he is no longer suffering. You all know we never got to the treatment stage of the cancer? He had the surgeries but then got infection after infection after infection. He was always too sick to move forward because of the infections. Makes me wonder if the he had not gotten the infections would they have been able to stop the cancer from spreading? He lived with us for almost a year fighting this. We became close. Watching the Tigers won't be the same this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

von Baur 54 Posted March 28, 2014 "And with that..." It's really that simple, isn't it. Shockingly. No trumpets, no lightning. Just... Steve Jobs said as his life was drawing to its end that he wondered what it would be like. Is there something after or is it like a light that just burns out? He said he hoped it was like the light. He later recanted that. I watched my mother-in-law and my wife pass. I was spared the pain of watching my father. Your life will be exactly the same sometimes and completely different others. The degree and frequency of the "different" varies with your closeness, both emotional and physical, to him. I find myself smiling and laughing at things I know my wife would have enjoyed. And a song we would have danced to will tear my heart out. There are movies I wish she'd been alive to watch with me. And movies I will never watch again. The same will be true for you, Dave. Well, maybe not the dancing part. Be happy for the time you had and try not to regret too much the times you won't. And remember the words of Garth Brooks's song: "Our lives are better left to chance. We could have missed the pain, But we'd have had to miss the dance." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
