My father, mother, and brother all had cancer at the same time and died within a short period of time of each other. During that same period of time my Dad's brother and sister also had cancer and they too passed away. Yes, FIVE family members all at once! The last thing my brother got to do before he died was go on a cruise. My parents always wanted to go to Hawaii but never made it. My husband and I are high school sweethearts I was 13 and he was 15 when we started dating. When we got married I was 18 and he was 20. We waited three years after that before we had kids. We have always been a very close family and after the deaths of my father, mother and brother it reinforced for me how short life is and how precious our time together is. I will never be the same. Last year we took our first cruise and took our two kids (22 and 20) with us. It was one year after the last death. It was our 25th Wedding Anniversary, our daughter graduated from college and our son was no longer a teenager. Besure to check out my signature...it will be my motto for the rest of my life.
My wife almost died...That's why we cruise every year!
