A friend sent me this photo of my husband, James. The pictures of James growing up are few & far between. I have just one tote of pictures from when James & his siblings were growing up. They're all young childhood pictures. Before this, I think I've seen only one other picture of my husband as a teenager.
It's so neat to see James like this. I didn't officially meet him until he was 22. I'm so thankful that I got 15 years to know him. I wish I had known him earlier & I wish he was still here. He evolved so much as a person & I was looking forward to many more years with him.
Last year, I didn't know I would be a widow. I didn't realize how deadly Melanoma can be. Melanoma can spread more quickly & earlier than many other forms of cancer.
In James's case, his Melanoma developed from a mass in his left underarm region. It was a race against time until the treatments could no longer keep up with cancer. After 7 months of battle, James peacefully passed away.
