The Hug
Today is the 6th anniversary of the day my late husband Dan’s life was taken by prostate cancer. He has now been gone longer than we were married. I knew this day was coming as time relentlessly marches on, but it doesn’t sit well with me.
❤️
We had to go through so much to be together and when we were together we went through so much. It was worth everything.
❤️
Our last full-on hug, like this hug, was in the ICU with Dan’s kids standing on either side of him to support him so we could put our arms around each other. I am so grateful for that moment, it’s indescribable.
❤️
More than anything, over these past six years, I have longed to feel his arms around me again.
❤️
But yet, they always are.
❤️
