Hey Sis!
Kinda funny story....
My wife was literally the girl-next-door who lost a battle to breast cancer at 28. I suddenly became Mr Mom to my 2 little girls, 4 and 1.
Growing up, there were 4 boys and no girls in my family so it was a cultural shock to see my girls grow-up. It was an adventure, a riot and truly the most joyous time of my life. I was definitely the protective dad.
...and they’ll always be my little girls.
Sorry for my rambling...waaay to much coffee this morning.
Lord in heaven, how awful to lose your wife so young!
