Joyce,
I know that God will provide you the answer to questions, He always does. Please have faith, and I will pray for the both of you.

Joyce,
I am sorry to hear your news; I hope for the best for you and your husband during the special time that lies ahead, for you to be together.
I wanted to quote something meaningful that might touch you, and I ended up choosing a different quote than I thought I would, for the time you'll be spending with Gary, and all your moments together before and after:
"Love, all alike, no season knows, nor clime, nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time." -- John Donne

"Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination." "Arguments are to be avoided; they are always vulgar and often convincing." -- Oscar Wilde |

Dear Joyce,
My heart goes out to you & Gary for all that you have endured thus far, and please know that I will continue to pray for the both of you as you enter into this next phase of your life's journey together.
I have stood in your shoes before - more times than I care to remember - as many members of my family have been faced with one form or another of "the 'c' word". The two most recent were the passing of my mother in March of 1994, at age 73 (to a brain tumor) and on April 28, 2002 my baby sister passed away at the age of 41 (advanced phase IV lung cancer, when initially diagnosed - and phase V is as high as it goes...).
I think it's wonderful that you are taking time off of work to be with Gary & I know that you will both do all that you can for one another. In spite of that rock wall in the distance, I can tell you from personal experience that you spoke volumes when you wrote:
quote: As difficult as this is going to be for him and for me, this is going to be a very special time for us.
Although there are many challenges ahead, you & Gary will indeed share some very joyous & wonderful moments together. I wish you many, many of those; they will help to make the love & the bond between the two of you stronger than ever.
As misschanelno5 did, I would like to share a quote with you that has touched me & I hope that it might touch you, as well. The quote is from Chief Seattle (Duwamish-Suquamish, 1785 - 1886): "There is no death, only a change of worlds."
May God continue to bless you & keep you both in His loving embrace & give you strength, even as He brings you peace.
Much love to you both,
Diane

Dear Joyce, I have tried writing this letter so many times, and each time that I do, the words sound so inadequate!!! You are such a wonderful person, and I hate it that y'all have to go through this, but with the Lord's help, you will find the strength!!! I love you and am praying for y'all. Please take care of yourself sweetie and treasure each moment that you share with Gary. I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!
Love, Kay |

Joyce, I am sad to hear of your news but know from reading your writings that you will truly make your time with Gary a meaningful and loving time. Everybody's else has pretty much summed up my feelings in their posts, including the fact that I too "have been there" when my mom passed away from stomach cancer in 2000. Please know that the greatest gift you can give Gary is your time and your love. Each smile, each shared moment and each hour and day together are both your gift to each other at this stage in your relationship and also a gift from God. I pray for both of you in the time ahead and ask God to hold both of you in His hands. Peace and blessings to you and Gary, Christina |

I have not been out to the site in a very long time. I stopped by today because I had a few spare min. When I went back and read this entire post I was so sad. All I can say is "May the angels wings bring him home in the comfort he deserves" And " May God give you the peace you deserve". You both are in our prayers
