Our Wedding Anniversary [this should be happy, but feeling so sad]

1 minute read time.
Our Wedding Anniversary is on Tuesday 14th July and I know I should be feeling so happy. Especially as we have been together now for 32 yrs. It really now is hitting home that this time last year we hardly had a care in the world and now I feel that I am dreaming and I am going to wake up from this terrible dream my family and I are in, but no this is not going to happen. All along I have told people yes I understand what is happening and yes I am coping with everything, but now I am approaching our wedding anniversary it is hitting home that my wonderful husband is so unwell, and this is not going to go away. He has been gradually coming to terms with everything, has been haveing chemo for 4mnths and 2mnths to go. Now they have decided on radiotherpy after the chemo. He is feeling so tired and cold, so is having blood transfusion on Monday. I just want the world to know I Love this man [My Bobbie] so very very much. How life can change in an instant, life is so so precious. I treasure every moment.

    Hi

    Congratulations on your Anniversary on Tuesday 32 years that is an achieviement I hope you can celebrate

    I wish I could tell you that everything is going to be allright but I can't but what I can tell you is that sometimes the treatment is much much worse than the cancer itself but more often than not these days there is light at the end of the tunnel even if right now you can't possibly imagine that

    Thinking of you both

    I've had those thoughts, too, since my son was diagnosed with cancer in February this year.  Our summer last year (April and May here in South East Asia) was spent in and out of the hospital for his chemo sessions and I'm glad that last summer we went to one of our country's beautiful, white sand beaches and he went para-sailing and our family had a grand time.  Never did we imagine we'd be facing this life-threatening disease.  My son has had chemo, surgery, radiation, with 12 more chemo sessions to go all the way until December.  Even though we've been coping relatively well with our world being turned upside down and inside out, there are still days when I wake up and wonder if this is all real or just some horrid nightmare.

    Happy Anniversary to both of you- 32  years of love is no small feat nowadays.

    Hi Connie may i wish you and your husband a happy anniversary, what an achievement to have been married 32 years-not many people can say that these days!!

    My partner and i have been together for 8 years (both divorced previously) and my one regret now is that we havnt got married! He asked me lots of times but i always said no we are ok as we are. A decision i really regret now, although i suppose theres still time? Something to aim for? Who knows.

    You must have some really special memories and i am sure these will give you strength and comfort to you,

    Much love to you both, Julie x
