I'm so grateful for the time we had together. When we heard the news of Glioblastoma
Multiforme Grade IV on September 15, 2004, we were told that the median survival was
less than a year. We were scared. We weren't even sure if he would be around when
Aden was born. We decided then to make each moment count. We were blessed with
22 more months.
Phillip was my best friend. I could tell him anything. No matter what was going on, just
hearing his voice made it all better.
You can never prepare for the death of someone you love. We had time to think about
things, make arrangements, and talk a lot. Many times we stayed up until 2 am just
talking about our life together and our dreams for the future.
He asked me once if I wished I didn't have to go through the pain of our life together, if I
would have wanted to change it. The song below explains a lot about how I feel about
that.
Our 6 short years together carried a lifetime of events. I wouldn't change it for the world.

May my cry come before you, O Lord;
give me understanding according to
your word.
May my supplication come before
you;
deliver me according to your
promise.
Psalm 119:169-170

The Dance, Garth Brooks
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say
goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would
go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have
missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have
chanced it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would
go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have
missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to
miss the dance
