Life of Joann, (18/Many)

“At times my wife would find me with tears streaming down my face. At times she would find me completely silent. It was the fear; the knowledge I may not have much time to be with her.” “She told me I scare her when I get like that. She didn't want anyone to feel defeated yet. It made her feel like she may not survive this. Whenever I got like that she would whisper to me, ‘Daddy, what would I do without you? I need you more than ever and I couldn't have spent my life with someone who doesn't love me as much as you do.’ “ “The chemo was working, but she had an MRI coming up. If there were any tumors to show up, it was over, and there would be nothing we could do.”
