Lady Remembers Her Late Husband Who Died Of Cancer Barely 3 Years Into Their Marriage As Today Would Have Been Their 10th Anniversary

Heartbroken lady named Monica Morgan has briefly narrated how her husband died barely 3 years into their marriage.

Monica remembers her late husband today because they were both supposed to mark 10 years in marriage.

She expressed her grief by saying that life doesn’t always work out the way we plan it.

Sharing her story on LinkedIn with their wedding photos, she wrote:

Today would have been our 10th Wedding Anniversary.

Life doesn’t always work out the way we had it planned.

We had two amazing weddings within months…one in Toledo, Ohio and one in Venice, Italy. (We got married in Toledo because he said that he didn’t want to find out we weren’t married because of another country’s red tape…lol)

After three years of an amazing honeymoon, God called him home.

It was a brief, agonizing illness…Pancreatic Cancer.

Yet, we danced in the rain or the hospital room I should say. We ballroom danced as he lay in bed and as I stood by the bed. He sang to me, like he often did.

We stayed upbeat and enjoyed those final days, moments, minutes, seconds.

We never gave up hope that our prayers would be answered.

I stayed in the hospital with him, whenever he went.

I had just returned to waiting room outside his hospice bed and I noticed a big bouquet of roses, balloons and one balloon that said “I Love You.”

I was angry. Who would dare send such flowers as my husband lay in a coma?

My friends gently encourage me to open the card.

“Boo, I’ll love you forever.” I couldn’t the control the tears.

I later found out that he had arranged to have flowers sent to me, when he no longer could.

A few hours later, almost ninety days after finally discovering what the debilitating pain was, he slipped away as I held him in my arms.

My gentle giant.

My soulmate.

I didn’t think that I could go on without him…didn’t want to.

However, it was the end of his story and not mine.

I had to get up when I didn’t want to.

I had to keep pushing, keep dreaming, keep moving forward no matter what life put in the way.

That the same thing that we have to do in our professional lives…if we get knocked down and can still look up…we have to get up.

I still feel him with me.

I get signs, but that’s another story…maybe even a movie.

True Love Never Dies.

“Happy Heavenly Anniversary, G. “
