What are you waiting for?
A year ago today my beloved brother-in-law lost his battle with pancreatic and liver cancer.It was a long battle for him and I guess us too.And though in the end his body could take no more,I still feel like he didn't lose.He remained the strong man he had been all of his life.My sister today is still grieving very much and probably will for a long time.They had been together all of her adult life.I used to envy her for their lifelong relationship,I don't know now how I could stand to lose someone that you loved that much.I still can't believe sometimes that he is really gone.He was one of the finest men I have ever met,and believe me when I tell you that is a fairly short list.He was a lifelong watermen,a father,a husband,an uncle to my children and a true friend to many,many people.The whole community where they live is still reeling even now.My sister today is of course upset and it will be a hard day for her.Its a hard day for a lot of us.He was my brother-in-law,an uncle to my kids,but most of all,he was my friend!He accepted me for who I am as I did him.I miss him greatly and always will.For those of you who have seen my pics,yes there is a folder about cancer.I am involved in Relay for Life because cancer sucks.That didn't start when my bro-in-law got cancer,that started when my mom got breast cancer 4 years ago.2 surgeries,chemo and radiation later she is all good!!While she was going through it all I was looking for something to do in a positive way if you will about cancer.I found relay for life and i've had a team for 4 years now.It helps me to find an outlet for my hatred(yes,i said hatred) for cancer.But today is a day to remember and honor my brother-in-law so that is what i will do.Time to dry my tears and get on with my day cause that is what he would have done.Gotta check on my sis now.
