On Saturday, July 10, 2023 at 12:12 pm my brave warrior won his fight against cancer by relinquishing his own life! He fought hard for 16 months with Testicular Cancer and Leptomeningeal Disease to stay just a little bit longer in this earth with his loved ones.

Once he made the decision to go, his passing was fast, peaceful and full of love.

When he was a child, I used to sing to him: “You are my sunshine, my ony sunshine, you make me happy, when skies are gray, you never know dear, how much I love you, please don’t take my sunshine away.”

As the battle with cancer became unbearable for him and for us (family) to see him suffering, and since he was mostly out of consciousness, I changed to song and sang for him ver his last 24 hours:

You are my sunshine, my loving sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray, I know you know dear, how much I love you, it’s OK to go fly away.

My hope singing this version of You Are My Sunshine to him over and over again was to let him know that he could go in love and peaceful.

I never thought or wanted for that day to come, and yet, my brave warrior had to go!
