Cancer Took My First Wife

The love of my life is still my shining light Twenty years ago she past away cancer took her life The life as we knew it No chance to redo it Chilly as the autumn air that cuts like a knife

I'm so so sorry Milton! Much more recent but the hurt never goes away! Everyone is affected by this ugly disease! Sorry...

Yes, three years ago, my wife died Thanksgiving week from cancer. Sorry for your loss, too.

Can I assume you also lost a close one?
