Wow. Just, wow.
that is gut wrenching to say the least….
You took the words right out of my mouth Rob.
Those photos are heart-wrenching, especially if you have children of your own.
Oh. Off to hug my lot. One is having a growth removed next month – 99% likely just a cyst, but you always fear.
This is heartwrenching and beautiful and damned moving.
never has something made me want to give to charity as much as this post. Its the first time i have seen what happens when dying from such a horrible illness. Thanks for posting John
Thanks for sharing this with us.
I went through the same thing with my wife.
They tortured her for a year and a half, then finally let her die.
The medical profession has a lot to answer for.
Just an opinion.
They’re both very brave.
This is the toughest thing in the world – watching your child die after a long and painful struggle. I did it with my son who died of cancer at the age of 20 after battling the disease from the age of eight. You cherish every moment of your child’s tenuous existence while doing what you would normally consider impossible.
that was truly heartbreaking. but thank you for posting it.
It’s too soon for me to watch it. Maybe later, if I can find it.
Some days the internet is an amazing place. This was one of those days. Incredible photos.
