When your mate/parent is terminally ill, lives are put on hold automatically. Perhaps, you have been fortunate enough not to have been told that your spouse of many years has only a short time to live. I have not been that lucky. Our children are grown and they are devastated and want to spend as much time as possible with their dad.

Those children need the love and presence of both parents at this time.

And, BTW, people with stage four cancer do not live long lives, a few months or a year at most.

I agree. Nothing else should matter. At this point personal ambition is meaningless. Time spent & enjoyed together before it becomes physically unbearable (and it will) should be the focus right now.

Will keep you & your family in prayer. God bless.
