This is a blog about us Honeys. We've been married for 6 years, live in Littleton, CO, have a Chihuahua named Dobby, a Rat Terrier named Scarlett, three awesome cats (all referred to as our Furry Kids!) and some fish.
In November 2007 I was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer of the liver) and nave been undergoing chemotherapy since December '07 & Proton Radiation Therapy at M.D. Anderson in Houston, TX from December '08 - February '09, and then back on eternal chemo until we get the tumor to shrink away from one salvageable vein in the liver so that it can be surgically removed. We use this blog to keep family and friends updated on our struggles, loves, challenges, celebrations, goals, ideas and the general daily grind!

What I see...

Let me tell you what I see when I look at Mrs Honey.

I see:

  • A tired woman
  • Sadness
  • Frustration
  • Fear
  • Twitching (she twitches in her sleep because of the drugs)
  • Restlessness
  • Anxiety
But what I see beneath all that:
  • A strong woman fighting for her life
  • A very intelligent person
  • Creativity
  • Hope
  • The woman I married
  • Most important...the woman I love
We have good days.

We have bad days.

But...really...through it all we have eachother. And that is what we need.

I see a beautiful couple bravely facing life together. A hurting wife supported and protected by a loving husband. A husband giving himself, so she - can be.

This is what marriage was meant to be.

Pete: I respect and love you even more that you are so dedicated to your marriage and your wife, Abbey, my daughter. I could not have designed a more powerful and loving husband for her.

Biker hug,

Dave-Dad

Abbey:
Stay strong Scout.
Call me when you need some time-out.
Wings or things to do,
and I will come and do it with you.

Kisses and hugs,

Dad

What I see is a beautiful couple so fully and deeply in love, fighting the fight of their lives - TOGETHER!!!!!

You two are such an inspiration to me and I'm sure to other couples out there. Pete, your love for Abbey is so apparent in all that you do, and her appreciation for you and all that you do for her is so evident! I admire you both. Love, Carol
