My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer while we were engaged.
We met when I was in high school in a small town by the beach named Luquillo.
We dated for about 6 months and then he had to go to the US Air Force and we fell out of touch.
Fast forward 32 years and we found each other and fell madly in love. We got married as he was still going through his chemo.
I developed several health issues as well and stopped working to be with him and to spend more time together.
I want him to travel as much as we can, time is clicking for him and as he chuckling says “I now have a short shelf life” !
I want to give him as many experiences as I can with our fleeting time. Initially when we got together I told him I wanted at least the next 30 years to grow old together.
I feel devastated that what little money I have is going to our essential bills. If I could give him the world I would.
Sometimes I pray to the Lord to take a few years out of my life and give it to him so we may share more memories together.
There is no cure or remission for his type of cancer. It has spread to his bones and lungs.
He is one hell of a fighter and he is doing well for now but we don’t know when his terrible disease will rear its deadly head again
