Like Pearl Drums I don't like to put too much of my personal info out the net BUT at 930 am this morning my beautiful wife Chris lost her 5 year battle with cancer. We went to the Mayo Clinic the day after thanksgiving for the start of her final journey. She received the poison chemo for 5 days and then a German bone marrow transplant. Well about a week ago her Dr had that meeting with me that you don't want to have telling me that my wife was shutting down and she didn't have much time left. The transplant had failed. Chris wanted to see her grand kids so I arranged for a medical flight home from Minnesota. We arrived 3 days ago and on that night my son brought our grand kids into her hospice room. My wife's final word on this earth was WOW as her face lit up and her eyes sparkled as she looked at the kids. Chris never once complained during this journey and never shed one tear. Me, I cried a bucket of tears and still doing so.
I only put this out there because you folks didn't know it but you were providing with an outlet I needed as I sat in her room 8 and 9 hours a day. I never missed one day while she was in the hospital since Jan 12th. I got on here and a couple other sites while she slept to take my mind off what was going on. For that I want to say thanks for this site and all you folks that post on here. You didn't know it but everyone one of you help me pull thru this ordeal.
Three people on here have met and know Chris. BJRogg, Clint, osage outlaw and of course Pearl Drums who gave my wife his sons self bow to have. Thanks again to all and please say a prayer for my wife Chris.

Jon I am so sorry for your loss
It doesn't surprise me in the least that Chris never complained. I had the pleasure of meeting her several times and could tell she was that type of lady. She reminded me a lot of my mom.
I'm also not at all surprised you've been crying buckets. I could tell how much you felt for her and know how deep your loss is. I know we can't take away all that pain and sorrow, but maybe we can help you forget it for just a little while from time to time. I lean on this site for that same feeling.
I don't want to go into details but I'm leaning on it right now as I type this out.
Bless you and comfort you. I have a deep respect for you and you have a special place in my heart. I appreciate the prayers both you and Chris have said for my family. I will continue to say them for yours.

I went through the same thing 5 years ago, my wife's downward slide from cancer lasted 14 months. I was by her side almost all the time. I think I was up 36 hours straight when the end was near, I didn't want her to pass while I was sleeping and not be able to be by her side, I was there at the end tending to her.
My heart goes out to you, I understand what you are going through, I really do.
