He vowed to love me in sickness and health, I saw those words during chemotherapy.

Sadly I have seen it happening twice in my life, with two of my friends. Both mothers were dying from cancer and both husbands had girlfriends - the one even had the cheek to come to the funeral and accept condolences. But maybe these were the exceptions and not the rule! Blessings, Jennifer
