Reminds me of an experience that I went through with a family members not long ago.
My cousin, accomplished, USC Film & Theater Alumni, competed in Jiujitsu competitions, served 4 years in the Army and traveled the world, worked on various entertainment projects (prime-time TV shows, commercials, etc) ended up meeting a woman 5 years his junior while in the entertainment industry.
He specialized in sound and has his own company. Not long after they began dating, he was diagnosed with a severe case of cancer that would eventually end his life soon.
They ended up getting married roughly one year later after dating, knowing that he only had so much time left to live. She did get pregnant, and after months of battling the strong cancer, he passed away about 2 months after marriage. He lived until the age of 36. His lifestyle was that of fitness and wellness.
Their daughter now stays with her and she doesn't see the daughter much as she is constantly traveling around the world to pursue her career in the entertainment industry.
His death was one of the toughest things I've ever endured and to this day I still have a hard time grasping the loss. Its unfortunate that his daughter will never see the kind of man that he is. I hope that one day her mother finds another suitable man to share the rest of her with as well as she, eventually.
