I lost Robert after only 26 years of marriage.He died of pancreatic cancer. He was my best friend,my lover and the father of my sons. I miss him very much.I sometimes wonder how I've moved on without him. He was such a huge part of my life. If I could have a do over in my life it would be to stop the cancer before it took my husbands life. I have lost so much since he passed away. I'm trying so very hard to move on. But its so hard for me. I must remain strong for my sons. If they see I'm not handling my life well they get worried and then I feel guilty for being so lost without Bob. My life has changed, sometimes I have good days other days its really tough but I still move forward. For what Bob left me was memories of our life together. Bob has left a legacy in our two sons. He has taught them if anything how precious life is and to make each day count. He will forever remain in our hearts and minds.
