I am living proof that no one can predict or determine their future. When a devastating illness strikes your family, in some cases, no matter what steps you take or how you plan you will have no control over the outcome. One day, out of the blue, my father was diagnosed with cancer and then just a few months later, my husband was diagnosed with cancer as well. Watching a father and a husband battle a fatal disease together was more than a family should ever have to endure. Despite all the doctor consultations and treatment plans, nothing would suppress this insidious disease. Although they both fought bravely and effortlessly for only a short time, they both lost their lives to cancer. My family and I endured a double loss, losing two family members, at the same time, only a few days apart. Our lives were changed forever and unfortunately, we learned the hard way that life is a precious gift which can be taken away at any time and should never be taken for granted. | Mother and Daughter by Louise Joy, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
