Trevor,
While we have had a few disagreements in the past, I want to come forward and say that you are a gentleman of the highest caliber. Quite simply, I have met few people, if any, that possess the true character that you possess. That is the absolute truth, everything and anything else, aside.
My very best friend also lost his wife to cancer this year. She, too, was only in her early twenties. It was a very very sad thing for us all, and we continue to live with it each day. You are a lucky man in one way, though. My friend was not fortunate enough to have had any children. And, as a father, I know how precious children can be in an emotional situation like your own. My mother-in-law passed away recently, and a year later - to the day - my wife and I had identical twin girls come in to our life. It's bittersweet how these things work. I don't understand it. In fact, I gave up trying to understand. Now, I just pray for time with those I love, and cherish the moments we do share.
Perhaps, someday you and I can call ourselves friends. I would like that. In the meantime, I hope you will email me and let me know if you'd like someone to talk to, share memories with, or if you just want to let off some steam. I can be a good listener. I'm happy to offer my phone number if you'd like it.
