    At 4:15 am today, I lost the love of my life. He fought a good fight until the bitter end. Someday I will write an update post to recap our past few weeks with this dreadful disease.
    He was a father to three wonderful children. Daniel,19 Emily, 18 and Benjamin who is 9.
    He loved his family above all else. He was the most selfless man I have ever met and was lucky enough to fall in love with.
    Please pray for us this week as we say goodbye to his earthly body. We rejoice knowing he is with our Lord!
    Thanks barb

      I am so sorry to hear your husband has passed away.  This disease is just relentless and your husband is too young to be taken.  You have been such a wonderful caretaker.  Keep the good memories and let go the horrors of melanoma.  I'm sure your children and yourself need each other.
