When your husband is diagnosed with brain cancer, ‘You realize what matters’

"Last October, in an ER trauma room, I put my head on my husband’s chest and cried as we received the worst news of our lives."
"He had brain cancer. I was six months pregnant with our first child at the time; we didn’t even know if he would live to see our baby being born."
"You realize that one day you’ll desperately miss the things that used to annoy you."
"Dan did live to see the birth of our son, Sawyer; the three of us were blessed to spend seven beautiful months together as a family before Dan passed away."
"Sawyer is my living proof that life does go on, and it is still beautiful."
"Thankful that I can look into our son’s face and see his dad."
"That just might be my biggest lesson learned through this ordeal: that there is always something to be thankful for."
"Dan was an Army veteran and member of the Vermont State Police, where he served as a State Trooper for 14 years."
"His wife, Jess, is a NICU nurse."
"There is a community of support available."
