Two Journeys end

I've learned a lot in this few short months. I knew the marathon would be hard but I never imagined it would be that hard. Many times I just wanted to stop moving, but then I'd set a new goal. "I'll stop at the next mile marker or I'll stop when the bus comes to me" but every time I just kept pushing on. A few personal things motivated me but one thought kept me going. If someone with cancer can get up every morning and keep moving then who am I to stop. I was able to finish my journey and sadly the next day so did my husband's Dad, Bill Nowicke. He was a strong, funny, loving and one of a kind person. His journey with cancer has ended, but his spirit remains. I've learned in two short days to take life as it comes and make the best of it, no regrets!!
