5 years ago today 2 young people stood in front of family and friends and where these words where vowed
Melissa: I never thought that I would find someone like you
Vince: but now that I have you I couldn't imagine my life without in it
Melissa: I look forward to waking up each morning with you next me
Vince: and falling asleep with you in my arms
Melissa: Ever since I met you, I have learned what love really is
Vince: my love, I can't wait to see where you will take me, and who you will become
Melissa: I love the way that you look at me from across the room, when you think that I don't know
Vince: I love how you kiss me when you are asleep
Melissa: I love how you hold me so tight, making sure that I am there
Vince: I promise to stand by you when things are rough
Melissa: I promise to always be the same person that you wanted to marry from the start
Vince: I promise to always put you first
Melissa: I promise to always talk with you about everything
Vince: I promise to tell you that I am sorry, hold your hand when we are walking, and hug you when you are crying
Melissa: I promise that my love for you will never change and that it will only grow stronger as the days pass
Vince: I promise to love and honor you
Melissa: to be faithful and true
Vince: I promise to never go to bed mad
Melissa: I promise to always let you know how much I care
Vince: I promise to care for you when you are sick
Melissa: I vow to be yours until the end of time
Vince has been there with me through thick and thin. We have been through so much in the 5 years that we have been married, I know that many people say that but we have. We have brought 2 beautiful little girls into the world; he has been there with me during all but 1 of my chemo treatments. We have had our ups and downs for sure.
Today also represents the day that we found out that I had cancer. 1 year ago today we thought that we had almost made it through the day and going to make it through the weekend… no news is good news right… and were getting ready to make plans for the weekend and our anniversary, Vince went to lay down for a nap since the few days prior had been very crazy with 2 trips to the OR in less than 24 hours, and just as he did Dr. B called and said that they had the results of the biopsy and it is Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. We ended up spending the day telling our families that I had cancer. I know that for me when I telling my family and friends I couldn’t say “I have cancer” only “I have Hodgkin’s lymphoma” if you don’t use the word cancer it doesn’t exist right? I meant to recap the last year but there are 90 posts on my blog it could truly take awhile and pull important information but it is 1:30 in the morning and I think that I am going to get to bed now.
I want to say thank you to everyone that has kept up on my blog, have really help us out meals and prayers.

Your family is such a huge support for you, its awe inspiring to see the way they rally around you and make sure everything is going to be ok. Plain and simple you rock,.. you have been so strong through all of this....your girls are BEAUTIFUL and thriving and you continue to smile and fight through everything that has been delt your way without batting an eye.
