Bruce, the words to "our" song...says it all.

I can't remember when you weren't there
When I didn't care for anyone but you
I swear we've been through everything there is
Can't imagine anything we've missed
Can't imagine anything the two of us can't do

Through the years
You've never let me down
You turned my life around
The sweetest days I've found
I've found with you
Through the years
I've never been afraid
I've loved the life we've made
And I'm so glad I've stayed
Right here with you
Through the years

I can't remember what I used to do
Who I trusted whom, I listened to before
I swear you've taught me everything I know
Can't imagine needing someone so
But through the years it seems to me
I need you more and more

Through the years
Through all the good and bad
I knew how much we had
I've always been so glad
To be with you
Through the years
It's better everyday
You've kissed my tears away
As long as it's okay
I'll stay with you
Through the years

Through the years
When everything went wrong
Together we were strong
I know that I belonged
Right here with you
Through the years
I never had a doubt
We'd always work things out
I've learned what love's about
By loving you
Through the years

Through the years
You've never let me down
You've turned my life around
The sweetest days I've found
I've found with you
Through the years
It's better everyday
You've kissed my tears away
As long as it's okay
I'll stay with you
Through the years

Dear Bruce,

I know sometimes you feel guilty for all that we've had to go through because of the lymphoma. I would rather live a lifetime with you having cancer though, than to spend one day apart from you. You are my husband, my lover, my best friend, my provider, my confidante, the father of my children, and the grandfather of my grandchildren. You are my life, my reason for smiling, my reason for living.

We're suffering from a little set-back right now, but together we are strong. I don't have any doubt, together we'll work this out. As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you, through many more years!

I love you honey!!!

With all my love,
Trudi

Dear Bruce,

Well, here we are again. We're now facing our 4th go-around with NHL. It's hard to believe that next month it'll be 18 years since we first heard those words "non-hodgkin's lymphoma", and learned what they meant.

When the doctor told me you could die within a month, and at most you probably only had 2 years, what I would have given to have known that we'd have 18 years ahead of us! They've flown by much too quickly though, and I selfishly want at least another 18 years with you by my side!

I came here tonight, to update my message to you. As I read the message I wrote the last time though, I realize there's nothing new to add. I still feel the same way ~ you are still my life, my reason for smiling, my reason for living.

We're suffering from a little set-back right now, but together we are strong. I don't have any doubt, together we'll work this out. As long as it's okay, I'll stay with you, through many more years!

I love you honey!!!

With all my love,
Trudi
