my husband is nearing the end of his long fight

[Charlene]

gary has been in the hospital since the wee hours of friday morning. he is in the end stages of renal cell cancer. he has fought a valiant battle but we have lost. we are hoping to bring him home friday or saturday and we are set up for hospice to help us care for him until he passes, most likely a matter of only days.

it seems odd to post such a personal thing in a public place but i have been coming here long enough to consider you people my friends. please keep us in your thoughts and prayers for his peaceful journey to God and for me to have the strength to get through this. he has been my soul mate, the love of my life for 11 wonderful years.

Charlene I have no words to tell you the sorrow I feel that he is losing his fight. May he pass on easy and gently. And may you find comfort knowing that he will always be with you. And some day you'll come together in joy again.

I wish I could give you a big hug.

I am so sorry for you and Gary, my heart goes out to you. You will be going through the hardest thing you have ever been through, but you will find these last few days will be as a gift from God. You will be able to talk to each other and say your good byes. It will be hard, but with the help of God, and your friends, you will make it through. If you have any questions, or just need to talk, please P.M. me. I have been down the same path you are going.
