Our Anniversary!

Lorraine and I will celebrate our 4-year wedding anniversary this Friday the 7th. Even though we have been married for four years we really been going out for a total of 12 years. Four years ago we would never think we would be in this situation. I think we assumed we would have a house of our own and possibly a little one running around by now. As we all know nothing really ever goes as planned. As much as we tried to plan everything this cancer thing through a detour sign in front of us. So now we are trying to find that path we once had to continue with our lives. I can’t imagine going through this without my Lorraine. Even through tough days she always throws a smile my way and then I know everything is going to be al right.

She’s been taking very good care of me and sometimes I feel bad because she is doing so much lately. The days I feel good usually the week of my next treatment I try and earn my keep at the house. Since I am a very active person its kind of tough sitting on the couch or laying down when I see her cleaning the house. Before the cancer I would be the one to clean the house and pick up things. I would try and do this before she came home because I know she has been stuck in traffic for a couple hours. I still don’t see myself the type of husband to sit around watching my wife do everything. But it’s only been two months so far and I have not become used to it yet and I doubt I ever will. Also, I feel kinda bad that we really will not be able to do anything to celebrate it. But we do have each other and I wouldn't want it any other way! These last four years went by really fast and I imagine the next four will go by just as fast. I know it’s been only four years but she still amazes me everyday. In the end Lorraine is the coolest chick I ever laid eyes on. I guess that’s why I married her!

The first pic took place in 1999 probably our first picnic together

  2. Happy Anniversary: the greatest chapter in the bible speaks of love, 1 cor.13 verse 7 says love bears all things believes all things, hopes all things and endures all things, love never fails...verse 12 says for now we see through a glass darkly. we will one day know all things as we are known, even the why's that we question so often but not until that day. stay strong i love you both keep looking upwards. it seemed like yesterday you got married.
