Sad news

in October 2013 Moms
I woke up yesterday to awful news that a dear friend of mine lost his fight with cancer that morning. He was 30 and married with a nine month old son. His wife was nine month pregnant when they found out he had cancer. I can not imagine finding that out, having a baby and then the first year with your baby which is so great but then also to be losing your husband at the same time. I dot think i could be that strong. I was hesitant to post anything on here because I am not surching for sympathy posts but as I lay in bed thinking about all the awesome times we had and how much i will miss him, im listening to my husband snore, I needed somewhere to vent. im hurting emotionally because I just can't believe he isn't here any more. I don't understand why things happen sometimes but I know that I will certainly live life a little differently, like not work my life away! and if any of you guys could say a little prayer for his family who has been through too much I would really appreciate it.
That's all. Thanks for letting me unleash a little.

    I'm sorry! Such an awful thing to happen. At least there will always be a piece of him with that baby.

    Thank you all. I really appreciate it. Your words are very kind. im just tossing and turning, trying to shut off my brain, I think I may just try and count sheep, I had a long day at work today and even longer one tomorrow. This has really given me a new perspective on things. I like what I do for a living but hate the hours, long days, and working holidays. I think this made me realize life is to short. Because of work I've missed my sons first Halloween, half the holidays really. Ill be out of town for work on his second birthday Monday. I don't know, I've been thinking about a career change with DS 2 on the way but I think this made up my mind. When I'm on maternity leave I think I'm definitely looking for a new job. I have to enjoy living a little more. It can get taken away so quickly. Thank you for all the kind words

    Totally lurking from the Nov 13 board, but I will pray for your friend's wife and son, and for you as well.

    As a mama to be that lost my husband when I was 10 weeks pregnant due to a car accident, I know a little bit of what your friend is going through. Be there for her when you can, it's going to be a tough road! Big hugs to all!
