Beautiful story. I never cried so bad reading a book. The good part is, he got to tell everyone goodbye and he was surrounded by his loved ones as he took his last breath. He had a great wife. Beautiful.

The most beautiful part of death is that it doesn't care how smart,pretty,beautiful,successful,rich you are we will all get to meet it.

That's not really beautiful. It just is because humans haven't solved it yet. Is cancer beautiful to you?

Katie Couric knows this all too well; her own husband died at 42 of cancer--a sudden fast moving cancer. And she raised her 2 children alone.

He never SMOKED?... and was diagnosed with lung cancer how come?... isn't that weird. I understand that Cancer is a mushroom that feeds on Candidas. It is kind of a mushroom that like everything that is sweet and at the same time Toxic. But if the doctor never smoke then he was probably exposed in an environment that was hazardous were probably what he was breathing was dangerous. That is what I think poor doctor and he was only 36 years old so young. 😔😔😔

Vignesh Krishnaswamy You know what I find silly and unthoughtful? Selfishly have a child when you know you won't be there to give them the father figure and stability they need to develop.

And what on earth makes you think that mothers can't do it.? I mean we have fathers who are so busy in their jobs that they are never there for their kids. But that does not mean they grow up to be bad..

@samysnes 7 жыл бұрын

I never said mothers can't do it alone... I'm just saying it's not an ideal situation for a child. Also, busy or absent fathers can always realize their mistakes and come back... Not in this case sadly :( It's a thing having a baby and then life gets in the way without knowing it ahead of time. It's another to knowingly make the decision to have one with a fatherless life.
