Day 508 'one' last post

My Dearest Vicki

What can I say...I miss her. More than anyone can imagine. It is with utmost sadness that I post Victoria's last entry for her. I am nowhere near the author she was.

I have watched her fight this battle for over two years. She was the strongest person that I have ever met. She was always upbeat and positive, right to the end. I was there with her all the time. I went with to to the ER when she went. I went to her Dr's appointments when she went. I was with her at every chemo treatment she had. I helped her with her meds, with her food, with her infusion pump for her chemo. I helped her dress and I tried to make her feel better whenever I could. I loved her, and she knew it! I wish that there was more that I could have done for her.

Family matters most

There was only one Vicki on this earth, and somehow I was the lucky one that was matched up with her. She accomplished so much in her short life. I will be happy if I can do just a fraction of what she has done. Do a google search for her name sometime ...you might be surprised. She was always a person who wanted to do things for people, never asking for anything in return.

The last thing she gave was her eyes. They were donated to the Eye Bank of BC, probably the only thing that a person with cancer is able to donate. I received a thank you from Vancouver Hospital yesterday, they said Vicki's eyes would go to help two people.

 'one' amazing ladybug

On Thursday Dec. 1, Cindy and I were by Vicki's bed in the hospital and saw something amazing. On the bed beside her pillow was a ladybug. It was just sitting ther, and then moved down onto the bedframe below the head of her mattress. I took a picture with my phone. None of us could figure out how this ladybug got to be in her room, and onto her bed. Remember, we were on the fifth floor, there are no windows that open, you have to come into the hospital on the ground, go down the hall, up the elevator, and then down another hallway to reach her ward, through the doors and to the right, to the end of the hall and then left into her room. This was one amazing ladybug. Too bad it wasn't purple! Was there some kind of message here?

Ray and Vicki forever

Vicki went into the hospital on the afternoon of Sunday, November 27, and was there until she left us on Tuesday December 6, at about 9:50 PM. Crystal, Cindy and I were there holding her hands and in tears. It was a nice to finally see her out of pain. No words can describe what she meant to us.

I miss you Vicki, and we WILL  be together again. Pick a nice spot for us. Thanks.........Ray
