Fuck Cancer / Thank You MGoBlog
I'm so sorry for all of you. For your wife, who wanted time with her daughters. For you, losing a dear wife and partner, for your daughters, never getting to know their mom. My wife's mom died of throat cancer when my wife was 7 - 8 years old. Recovering from that kind of loss is always difficult. I am praying for all of you.
I cannot say anything to help. But, I do want you to know that 10 years later - the children are grown, happy and healthy.
May you find a source of strength, the kids were mine. They will need you and you will need them. Your wife's spirit will follow wherever any of you go. Family will love and friends will support. You will find happiness and love in new places.
May God bless all of you.
The loss will be tough, no question. Your wife's brave battle of six years will be rewarded with precious memories for you and your daughters. I especially feel sad and happy for your youngest one. Sad, because obviously, happy, because she is old enough to remember and cherish your loving wife just as your older daughter and you will.
Your wife for being a fighter. Prayers and thoughts to you and your family. Stay strong.
What a crushing story. So sorry for what you're going through. I wish you and your children peace and happiness throughout; I can't even imagine. I'll keep you in my thoughts and send the most positive of vibes your way, friend.
3/2: I wish there were something I could say or do to help. I am very sorry.and wish there was a cure for that rottin to the core disease.
EDIT:3/23 Dear Cali I just read about this latest punch in the gut of your wifes passing and wish you and your family the strength to recover mentally and physically from such a terrible turn of events in a very unforgiving world. No husband especially of your age and with children should ever have to go through this. I also wish your children the best in the future and hope the impact of this doesn't affect your kids in a way they can't recover fully as I am sure would be one of your wifes last wishes.
May the best of luck be your future and I will take with me one small positive. That the perspective of something this devestating we all can use for strength in those days we all have when we wonder why this life can be so damn demanding and cold. We can remember that it could always be worse.
Im so sorry you are going through this. I just lost my mom to cancer in sept. so i know what its like. i was with her every step of the way. my heart goes out to you and your family. stay strong fuck cancer!
It's too bad it wasn't caught soon enough to be cured. Good luck to you and your children.
So, so sorry for the loss of your wife and the kids mom.
Now if I can just find a GIF suitable for whoever downvoted ANYTHING on this thread...
I just saw the edit, and again want to offer condolences on her passing away. I hope that your memories of her and your family and friends offer you comfort in this difficult time.
And if folks on the board would use Cali's sharing of this story as an impetus to make a contribution to a cancer research charity, well ... do that.
My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family.
A big long distance hug to you and your family. So sorry for your loss. We're with you, wolverine brother.
rally around those wonderful daughters of yours and your extended family. can't even imagine.
God bless you cali, and those girls. they'll look to you on how to handle this. papa bear, stand guard over them.
man. i just can't even imagine.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Cancer sucks - my thoughts & prayers are with your family.
So sorry for your loss. I lost my father to lung cancer in 2015 and I can't imagine how I would handle losing my wife. I hope you and your girls can find some comfort at this awful time.
From my Michigan family to yours, our heartfelt condolences.
She will live on through you, and especially your daughters.
You're stronger than me, and I am terribly sorry for your loss.
It sounds like your wife was an amazing fighter & role model for your daughters.
I hope that Hospice was a good (relatively speaking) experince for you, they do an unbeleivavle job and I couldn't thank them enough when my Dad passed a couple years ago.
He died of ALS, which is about one of the top 3 worst ways to go. Hospice made his last weeks bareable for all of us.
I'm so sorry Cali Wolverine.
My mother is stuggling as I write at 95lbs in ICU for the past MONTH due to pancreatic cancer.
Fuck you, cancer, indeed. Fuck you cancer all the way to hell.
I am glad she is no longer suffering and I am sorry for the burden you and the rest of her loving survivors must bear as you shoulder on.
Hang on.
Edit: met with palliative care team today. She's now 85lbs. I hate you cancer so damned much.
Edit: she died March 10, with loved ones present and in peace.
So sorry for your loss, Cali Wolverine.
So sorry for your loss.
but the big house is the show!
I'm always reticent to proffer my sympathies in situations like this because anything I say winds up sounding so platitudinous, but your story welled up a lot of emotion in me this morning and I felt compelled to reply.
I, too, have young children and the thought of them losing their mother is frightening. I shudder at that thought and can't imagine what you're going through. I just know that you will raise two great Wolverines and their mother will RIP seeing that come to fruition.
May you find peace in these troubling times.

I'm sure that you'll want to spend plenty of time alone with your daughters. But if there's one thing that I know with absolute conviction, is that your daughters should see how much we all loved your mom because we all love Michigan. And Mrs. Cali Wolverine was Michigan through and through.
God speed to you, your wife, and your daughters.
I cannot even imagine what you're going through. It must be awful.
I'm going to stop writing now, because I typically deal with death and loss by making jokes and people don't always appreciate that. But let me know if you need a laugh. I have a lot of great widower jokes.
Godspeed and take care.
I'm glad you can think about basketball right now because I can't stop thinking about you and your girls.
I missed this as I was out of the country a few weeks back.
I'm very sorrry for your loss...my deepest condolences to you and your family.
When you're in town, let us know. Your first beer is on me.
I'm so sorry. Prayers for her, for your daughters and for you.
you and your family are in my thoughts.
I can not begin to imagine what you and your kids are going through at this time.
Life is so very precious and I hope our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ brings you comfort in these trying times.
GOD Bless!!!
Sounds like she fought like hell to stay alive, but that's cold comfort now. Hope you and your kids can get through this.
Life is so goddamned fleeting.
