My husband Kevin was my one and only best friend and the love of my life. He was diagnosedwith Cancer on April 21, 1996. About one week after our 10th wedding anniversary. He got me roses that year. It was only the second time in 14 years of knowing him that he ever got me roses. The first time... well that was his way of saying "do you forgive me". The second time (our anniversary) was his second time of saying "do you forgive me". You see, he knew he was sick and as soon as we got the actual diagnosis, he said to me "you don't deserve this,you deserve so much better...". But that was sooooo like him. He was so unselfish, loving, kind and considerate. He didn't cry for himself but for those he was leaving behind to pick up the pieces. Since he didn't want me to cry or to say goodbye,I wrote this poem after he died. I wish I could let him know how privledged I felt to be ableto share in his life and his death.
Kevin how I loved you so
as we watched our children grow
You stood by me each day and night
even when we'd fuss and fight
Each morning you would shed a smile
to me that made it all worthwhile
I miss your strength, your warmth, your light
your loving arms, your face so bright
When I met you I was naive and weak
now, because of you I can finally speak
Thank you Kevin, for everything
the years, the tears, the memories
And mostly for our children
your greatest gift and legacy
I Love You Always
Karen Sealover
