My first true love. We were high-school sweethearts and married young. Had
two beautiful daughters with him before our lives took different paths. He was a care giver even when he needed the care himself. He took care of two friends with cancer. Taking then to their appointments and making sure they ate and bathed. Feeding and bathing them when they could no longer do it themselves. He then took care of his two sisters until they passed away from cancer. He ignored his own symptoms because he was needed. When his younger sister died, he finally went to the doctor and it was too late for treatments to work. He had stage four prostate cancer. They did surgery but he never recovered. Even though we had parted many years before, we were still friends and it broke my heart as well as his daughter's when he passed.
