You don't ever know...Baboo's best friend's wife just lost a very short bout with ovarian cancer. A month or two ago she was diagnosed from an abnormal pap smear-You can't really detect ovarian cancer before it's pretty advanced, but she caught it pretty early anyway. They did surgery, and got it out. She was very healthy otherwise, and the surgery went well. She had her first chemo, and really got sick quickly.
Tonight, after a couple of days of a pretty comatose state, she was lucid enough to agree to letting go. They made her comfortable, we all gathered around and said gooodbye, and sang her to sleep. It all happened so fast, that it hardly seems real.
Tom and Carol have been together for about 20 years. They had just tied the knot about two years ago this fall. They both have good jobs, and no kids. They would take those exotic sounding vacations that you think about when you read National Geographic. Take six weeks in January to scuba dive in New Zealand. Go to Baja where the whales winter, and kayak among them. Go to the Galapagos, then trek through South America for a month or so...They were perfect for each other, and he is going to miss her more than I can imagine.
God Bless You, and Keep You...Feel your Love.
