This is the very hardest one to write. I have written so much on this blog over the past year and a half, just trying to share information with everyone, but now this “cancer story” is coming to a close. Her story will never come to a close for me. This is not how our story ends. I know her family feels the same way. There was no one like her on this planet, and there never will be. She was a one of a kind, and the love of my life. She was the best person I ever met, and I look forward to seeing her again one day, up in heaven. Now I will sit in this empty house that she decorated so well, but I am not alone. God is with me, she is still with me in my heart, and I still have our little terrorist of a dog running around here somewhere, so maybe it won’t be too bad. I knew this was coming for a while, and I have said a few times that I felt like I was prepared, but nothing can prepare you for it, when you realize they are gone and won’t be coming back. 12 years ...
I know this is Christian's cancer story blog.. but I am making one last post here, and it is about me. This is for two reasons. One, so everyone who cares about me can know how I am doing. Two, It is also for all of the strangers that have kept up with her story. They can see this peace and positivity, and hopefully see what trusting in God can do for a person in a dark time. The day that Christian died (Tuesday Aug 9 th ) here on earth, and went to heaven, I thought I was prepared. I thought I was ready. I had seen this day coming for months, and knew we were getting closer every time something changed. I would contemplate what I would be doing after this was all over with. Of course, it revolved around me doing whatever I wanted to do, selfish thoughts. I had just spent the last year and a half consumed with the word cancer. Absolutely no regrets on that being my life, I wouldn’t change a thing, as you will read on to find out. I was just tired, and was ready to do wh...
Well, here we are. Sunday, September 18th. It's the day after my birthday. I turned 34 years old yesterday, but that is nothing important compared to today. 12 years ago today, September 18th, 2010, I stood in front of Christian Whitaker on a Carnival cruise ship in Charleston, SC. We said our vows, and she became Christian Eisenhauer. I remember crying when she came around the corner with her Dad and began walking down the aisle. I was overwhelmed with how beautiful she was. I was overwhelmed with knowing she was coming to say "I do" to me. I knew I was lucky then, and that became more self evident every single day we had together. I was crying on that day, and today I am crying for a different reason. Happy tears mostly, but I am not going to lie... I sure do miss her. We had such a great life together, and we just “got” each other in every way. I can’t put it into words. It was perfect. 12 years is not enough, but God knows what h...
