The horizon came last week. Shawn passed away on the 7th July at 9.30 am, St John's Hospital. He was doing so well, we had so much hope. After finishing radiotherapy the Doc's were keen to start Shawn on chemo. But exactly a week after being given the good news, Shawn suffered a bleed to the brain, and it was too late, I couldn't help him, no one could.
I held his hand and stroked his arm and watched my gorgeous man take his last breath. I kissed him and told him it was ok. But it wasn't, I just wanted him back. I'm so sorry for such a sad post, but I love him so much.
He's at peace now, away climbing mountains and playing rugby and no doubt having the odd beer or three. God bless everyone.
