What I have learned in one month...I now know... I know you have more family and friends than I can fathom; They love and miss you dearly. I know you have a sweet, loving, and beautiful daughter; When she holds me----I'm holding you. I know you have a devastated little brother and sister; Wanting the comfort of their only big brother. I know it is now useless to make plans for the future; Life proved harshly---it has a mind of it's own. I know I could only stand and face the reality this happened; After crawling through the dark tunnel of shock. I know I can experience love and pain, down to my inner-being; But not the full depth of one--without the other. I know I've had pain inflicted to the point I had to surrender; Yet still not this intense--this suffocating--this soul-killing. I know this season of life must carry a much deeper meaning; It's not only my eyes, my heart and soul are weeping. I know some say you won't be my first, last, and only thought; That sounds sad to me--And I'm not ready for that. I know your parents would like you to know how much they love you; While praying you can't see them--such heart-wrenching pain. I know if I had to do it over... knowing of your cancer, then the wreck; Not a soul here could stop me, I love you just that much. 12-18-14

In memory of B.A.N. My love, my life, my fiancé. He courageously fought Lymphoma and beat it with the help of MDAnderson, only to lose his life in a jeep accident, 8 months later. He will be missed.
