will I feel your warm lips upon mine,
will my eyes sparkle and shine.
the streets your feet will roam,
Because our Lord and Savior decided to take you home.

I feel your deep loss. I met my husband later in life, having never been married before. He had been married for 25 years, with 5 kids before his divorce. After 1 year, he was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bladder cancer with no effective treatment. We went to the best hospitals, did a radical surgery in removing his bladder. The doctors said he was cancer free. Six months later, like you said best, wham, another cat scan, cancer. It was a 4 year battle, always fighting a moving target, exhausting. We too were married at home. Saturday the 21st will be 8 years. I envy folks who have decades of memories with their soulmate. We both had so very little time after finding our person robbed of a future. It's been a long road of recovery for me as I developed significant health problems. I wanted to reach out because I felt connected to you reading your post, having our husbands taken away. I am so sorry that you did not have more time with your soulmate.
