I took care of my loving wife at home for four heartbreaking years till she passed away in 2009. She was a very special lady. We were married almost twenty
years. My first wife Darlene and I were married for forty years she died of breast cancer. This was after a four year battle. My second wife
Betty took care of her husband Don for four years before he passed away. Don had lung and brain cancer also died at home with Betty’s
loving care. That was in 1984 I knew Don and Betty for almost thirty five years they lived down the street from me. And my first wife Darlene.
I was in construction and so was Don. We worked on a lot of jobs together for over thirty
years. He was my friend. Betty and Don had a 1946 Jeep they sand dragged in on week ends. While both Don and Darlene were going through chemotherapy we visited at the
hospital at the same time. I didn’t see Betty for some time. Then one day she stopped to see how I was with my loss. I asked about her loss. She said I need you to lean on also. Later we went out to dinner and that started a beautiful relationship. And we got married.
We bought a motor home and traveled the U.S.A. We had such a great time together. She
was a very special lady and I loved her dearly. When he passed away I had her laid by her
fi rst love Don. I will lay by my fi rst wife Darlene. At my passing once a month I place flower on there graves.
Writing poetry is good therapy for me. I am now eighty one it is rare in this lifetime to have two special loves I am truly blessed. I will be with them again one day. I don’t know what I would have done without the help of hospice God bless them.view less
