2006 started off with hope. My dh's cancer was gone and we were looking forward to a good year. March and the cancer was back invading his liver and a new round of hospital visits started. We had to go away three times while he had things done and the last time in July they opened him up and found that the cancer had even spread to the newly regrown liver. Up until three weeks before he died on the 1st Dec he was still making things in his shed and we were living a life as normal as could be. We had a new baby granddaughter and our kids were all doing well. Life was good. We knew time was short so we fitted in as much as we could. The angels took him as I asked them to, gently. We have learnt a lot from 2006 - compassion, patience and calmness. I have learnt just how strong I am and I have learnt who my real friends are.
