Another nephew, Ricky found out
He had cancer in spring,
But because his brother Curt
Didn’t make it through with all
The treatments he had,
Ricky decided on a natural way.
He spent his summer doing what he loved.
He travelled with his son who was a
Professional Baseball Player.
He refused treatment until January
When family talked him into saving
His life by taking treatments.
It was a cruel path he took to
Try to conquer Esophageal cancer,
With his sister Dawyn there for
Him, giving him courage to face each day.
But in spite of following Dr’s orders,
And ringing the bell, he did not pull
Through. Every sibling, Spouse and grandchild
was with him, but He waited until only Dawyn
was with him to take his last breath.


What a story. Being with loved ones is so important.
Your writing I can feel. Life is precious we all know but if we know and I mean know that there could be an end near it is with an sharper awareness that what we do matters to the soul. Ricky knew at a soul level what became most important. Do what you love doing. Spend the time with those you love most. I know about waiting too. Peace dear Jacki.
