runnergirl - (2/21/2012 - 10:44pm)Emily---I can't imagine your grief. Losing a husband at any age must be so painful and beyond. May you somehow find God's grace and blessing. You probably won't for a while, but it's there; we all have to remember. The pain of Melanoma is hell on earth. May you and your family find peace, whatever that is for you.

I urge everyone to thoroughly educate themselves about melanoma. No part of this post should be considered to constitute any form of medical advice. Please consult a competent oncologist. (I think that prayer can help in ways that we don't always expect).

I was so happy to read when Jason was here to welcome him to the world. I know you will tell Jamieson all about his great dad and the great fighter he was. My condolences go out to your family in your time of grief.

I'm heartbroken at your loss. You were such an angel taking care of your husband.
Your lovely new baby will be your angel and will undoubtedly help ease some of the pain.
So sorry for your loss, but relieved that your husband is no longer in pain.
