Cancer!
You Ain't Woman Enough To Take My Man!!!!!

We were so happy and then you came along, you thought you could take him from me, but I fooled you. You thought I'd leave him and just let him succumb to your wicked ways. Well, you picked the wrong man to fool with didn't you. I remember well the first time I heard your name, it scared me at first, I 'm going to lose him to you , I thought. Then I realized how very much he meant to me and I fought you. Oh, you were a worthy opponent, I'll give you that. But, you had no idea who you were fooling with, did you?

He came home from the Dr. one day from a checkup and he whispered your name, I remember it like yesterday. Nov 21st the Monday before Thanksgiving. He said he thought he was going to be with you a long time. He said your name with such reverence and mystery. I looked in his eyes and said who is she? He said your name was Squamous Cell Carcinoma and that you had entered his sinus cavity. He said he had to go to San Antonio, Texas to be with you. That he would be there with you for about four months. I cried, I cursed, I threw things, I said I would not let him go to you. Well, you won that round didn't you. But, I followed you and him there. I sat for four months watching you entice him to just go with you, to just leave me, and our children and grandchildren behind. I would beg and plead with him to stay with us. But you would always be there lurking in the shadows , beckening him come closer, feel my fire. I would sit at night and ask God to save him from you, to release the hold you had on him. I would promise anything and everything, just to hold him one more day. I fought you like a tiger and I HATED you with every breath I took. I wrote you letters, begging you to let him come home to us. You laughed. How you laughed. You were so seductive and cunning. You almost had me believing that you had won him for good. But I held on. I wasn't just going to hand him over to you, oh no, you would have to come and get him. And you would have to go through me to do that. I got smart, I read about you and what you had done to other family's, I ask for help from everyone I met. I dared you to come any closer, you paniced and started hedging your bets. I fought harder, you made one final try to get him. But, I stood strong and said ,YOU WILL NOT HAVE HIM! You smiled wistfully, and said come on you know he would be better offf here with me. I lunged for you, I ripped your hair, I punched you, I kicked you, I beat the devil out of you. And I said this is it, you will not take my husband! I scared you, didn't I? You thought I was weak and afraid, you thought you could beat me. Well, who's got him now???? You ran scared and you haven't looked back, but I watch for you always. And if you should ever touch him again , I'll be there right by his side. ANd I WILL fight you again and again. YOU WILL NOT WIN! I love my husband and Cancer, YOU Ain"T WOMAN ENOUGH TO TAKE MY MAN!!!!!!!!!!

It has been nine months since treatment and he is working and playing and enjoying life to the fullest. We have a new granddaughter and he is a very proud grandfather. He tells me often that he never would have made it without me, but I know who to thank and every night I thank God that he was on our side. Kathalise Martin
