Oh Deb...I am so so sorry ...That is far too young to go and my heart goes out to you. If you need to talk - I'm here....he was very lucky to have a good friend in you. Big hugs and my prayers to you and his family.
I got chills reading your post.
That's what my husband is dying of ....and he is the exact same age....
We'll be facing this in the near future and it's just an awful feeling. You can't stop
thinking when faced with terminal illness..it's
always on your mind.....I just hope he didn't suffer too much at the end.
I know you'll be grieving for a long time for him and my heart goes out to you.
