Dec 18th, I lost my soul mate. Knew him 25 years ago, lost touch, reconnected about a year ago and married, His health held out for about 2-3 months before cancer consumed him. So rapid....so painful. Yet in the midst of watching him decline and feeling so helpless in it all. What I realized was I was coming to understand love in a whole new way..Love should be selfless, its really not about us. It has no measure. I layed my head on his chest and listened as his heart beat its last beat. The loss is so deep, at times I feel I can hardly breathe. Yet I know...This love I experienced with this warrior was a great gift.....So...Congrats to all who have posted here. Remember to be grateful for that one beside you, let the petty shit fall to the wayside, life can be to short. To those that are still looking, I will share Louies final words with you....DONT GIVE UP NOW...KEEP BELIEVING, KEEP FIGHTING FOR WHAT YOU DESIRE AND BELIEVE.
