My cousin Karen met "Prince Charming" and married him a little over a year ago. After spending much of her adult life miserable and mistreated, she finally found a true partner. A husband who loved her and wanted to take care of her. Someone to be happy with. Just a few months after they married, Russell was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer and it had spread to his brain. Karen has spent most of her marriage caring for Russell as he got worse and worse and on some days didn't even know who she was. Russell died on Sunday evening and Karen is burying him today. My heart breaks for her and has many times since Russell's diagnosis.
In Steele Magnolia's, Julia Roberts has a line..."I'd rather have 5 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special." Hard truth. Thinking of you today Karen. All my love.
