My wife and I took the long way around in getting married. In 1964, I was as senior, and I wanted nothing more than to join the Marine Corps, and go to Viet Nam. In my last week of boot camp, August of 64, then Tonkin Gulf event took place. I called my girlfriend(Libby) and told her that we could no longer be together as I was going to Viet Nam and probably would not come back, so we were breaking up. (John Wayne, huh?) Well, I went and I stayed for 2 years, then reenlisted. Got out in 1973 as an 06 on the 07 list.Tried to see her after I got out, but she had forgetton about me. Went to work for an oil company. In 2000, got an email asking if I was the guy that had run off to the marines and broke her heart. I had had 2 bad marriages, and was on my second. I was in the process of getting a divorce. She had had 2 bad marriages, and was in the process of getting a divorce. To make a long story short, we got back together, and got married. I have had the most wonderful time in my life since we got married. I truly believe this woman is why I as born, and my heart has had to grow a few extra room for children since she takes up so much.
I got my wife to riding on a Softtail Springer in 2000. It was pretty neat, and had a nice peppy little TW88. She loved everything about it except for the stock leather converged brick that was on the back seat. With my superb financial skills, i purchased a Mustang Extra Wide Regal to make her comfortable. $379 spent 2 weeks before going with a 2007 Ultra Classic. Took a couple of trips, she thought she had a bladder infection - went to the doctor, had an MRI, found a football size tumor. The CA125 test showed 367, well above the 35 level that indicates ovarian cancer. In early July, have surgery, an removed a very large tumor that had over 1/3 of her bodies blood supply. Operation went well, started chemotherapy. After 5 Chemotherapy's, her CA125 number is down to 20, which is below the 35 go/no go level. One more chemo to go. Then we have to start the radiation to try and take care of the sarcoma - according to the doctor we'll need approximately 30 sessions. She's holding up well. The most important thing in my life is that she be OK. We've been told that we have a one in five chance for her to survive.What I am asking for is just one tear with your prayer for my wife because I am certain God is counting on you, just like me.
God Bless You!!!
UPDATE
My wife just finished her last Chemotherapy on Wednesday the 12th of November. Afterwards, 3 doctors asked to speak to her. They told her that they could no longer find any sign of cancer, and that radiation would not be necessary, just have the CA125 test done every 2-3 months. It's a miracle, and I have to admit that right now it's hard to type with the tears in my eyes. I just want to give all the wonderful people that have included my wife in their prayers my heartfelt thanks - I am positive the Lord heard you and answered. Thank you all so much, and God Bless You !!!
