Vietnam Marine's Bucket List Wish
Donation protected
My name is Thea. I am 49 years old and my Higher Power/God put the love of my life across my path one and a half years ago (yes – it is NEVER too late for this kind of miracle to happen).
His name is Christopher. He is 66 yrs old, a proud Marine Vietnam veteran who has devoted his life to be in service to others, especially recovering alcoholics. He is a champion of women’s rights and personal empowerment.
Christopher is a loyal, honest and devoted partner who has healed and elevated me through our relationship. Through Chris’s healing love, within months of our first date, God's gift of true love was apparent as well as a free energy that enabled us to move easily through transition as we quickly merged our lives together. His comment to all the chaos of newly merging two households under one roof “Honey, I welcome this clutter because it means that you are with me.” Yes, this is the kind of man he is.
Eight months from our first date, Christopher was rushed to the ER due to critically low-sodium and released 8 days later. After a stint in the ICU, he emerged with a lethal diagnosis of small-cell lung cancer. The average life expectancy from time of diagnosis is 6 – 12 months.
On our first date, Christopher spoke of an unfulfilled dream that he’s had deep in his heart since he was 5 yrs old – to wander the hills and valleys of Ireland. I knew at that moment, among other things, I was put in Christopher’s life to help him manifest this lifelong dream.
We married four months after the cancer diagnosis. Though both of us were married and divorced before, the gravity of our love drew us together inevitably despite the grave prognosis we are now both facing (Chris’s cancer has metastasized since the initial diagnosis). We got married last November at a friend’s cottage walking hand in hand to the Beatle’s “All You Need Is Love” because we discovered through our journey and by the grace of God’s love, that love is truly all we need.
So, we are appealing to the greater, global love of humanity. We recognize that we all have dreams and loves. Christopher’s cancer and the complications of this diagnosis forced him to quit work which cut our income significantly. We do not have the financial means on our own to fund Christopher’s dream and time is of the essence - for all of us really.
We thank you for taking the time to read our story – one of many beautiful stories of love. If you feel moved to help us manifest Christopher’s dream, bless you and thank you. If you feel moved to say a prayer or send Christopher healing light and energy, bless you and thank you. If you read this and do none of the above, bless you and thank you for your time. Life is precious. Namaste.
