Saturday, May 19, 2001
Many times over the years Chrissy would remind Bruce, "Remember Daddy! You promised me that you'll still be here to walk me down the aisle on my wedding day, and to dance the father/daughter dance with me at my wedding reception!". Although neither would admit it to each other, there were times when they both questioned whether the promise could or would be fulfilled.
However, on Saturday, May 19, 2001, Bruce kept the long-standing promise to his little girl! Fifteen plus years after his diagnosis, he walked our daughter Chrissy down the aisle. And, as they danced together to the song "Butterfly Kisses", tears flowed from the eyes of both of them. Also from the eyes of everyone else in attendance!
Bruce's Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma Story ~ Main Page Visit Some of Our Favorite Background courtesy of :
When Bruce was diagnosed with Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, we were told that he could die within a month, and at most he probably only had 2 years to live. Our youngest daughter, Chrissy, had just turned 5 years old when Bruce was diagnosed. She grew up with the fear of losing her father.
I promised you I'd still be here!
Here comes the bride...
And her very proud father.
Tears of happiness
For a miracle wished for
Sometimes doubted
Now come true.
