I am so, so sorry that you, your husband and your family have to confront such devastating news so young - and when our worlds have already been turned upside down. I met my husband at 19 and we have been together for 20 years, so I can’t imagine what a blow it is to get this news when you imagined Growing old and healthy together. I am thinking of you and praying for you all and sending you every good thought I can. You are strong and level headed and I’m sure these qualities will help you on the road ahead. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i%e2%80%99m-devastated/page/3#post-2136006 Wed, 29 Jul 2020 15:45:54 +0000 Gail 2136006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sending a hug to you I'm so sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i%e2%80%99m-devastated/page/3#post-2135988 Wed, 29 Jul 2020 14:11:12 +0000 nuancedream 2135988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no!
