My Jim

Jim and I married Oct 18, 1975. He was 17 and I was 15. We met when I was 11 and he was 13. Jim and I truly were soul mates and remained married until Dec 10, 2011, when God called him home -at the age of 53.

Jim was dx with non-hodgkin’s lymphoma 22 months ago. The doctors all said he had the most curable form of cancer. The Chemo and radiation ravaged his body but he never complained. He fought a brave battle but, never went into remission. I sit here in total shock at the loss of my sweet Jim. I know Jim is just as much a part of my future as he was my past, I know I will see him again-Jim loved God and I know where he is but, the pain and loneliness is still almost unbearable.
