Very Rough TIme

Chief Shaway · January 9

Friday, I held the hand of my Sisters husband when he took his last breath.

He was not only my brother in law, he was one of my best friends.

He retired in August of 2022.

He was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in September of that same year.

He was told if he would of waited another day, he would of lasted a week.

It spread to his liver and lungs soon after.

They gave him 6 months.

He fought hard and made it about a year and a half.

When it spread to his brain it was too much for him.

He still fought hard though.

He was 62.

Two days before his passing, you could hardly tell he was ill.

He went so fast down hill.

I'm processing it as best as I can but, if you want to send prayers, send them to my niece and nephew and their kids.

Send them to my sister, who, just lost her side kick for 40 years.

Cancer Sucks.

RIP Bryon S.

BTW, He always said that when he died, he would know something that we didn't.

Now he does.

God bless him. Our prayers are with you and his family.

My deepest sympathy. To quote a Greek philosopher, "Life is hard, harder for some."

Sorry, Chief. Glad you were there for him at the end. That probably meant a lot to him.

After he retired from his delivery job, he went back to school to become a health care tech. He finished up his working career at the hospital in the cancer center.

When he would go in for treatments, my sister or niece would have to remind him that he was there for HIS treatment, he would be there talking to the other patients trying to ease their minds and comfort them.
