I read this article yesterday and was touched by their comments about facing an imminent death. The video is below.
HOUSTON -- In the face of a rare, fatal fungus attacking her
blood and no cure in sight, a woman celebrated a hospital wedding with the man
it took her more than 30 years to find. Sonya O'Connor is dying. A rare fungus
is slowly eating away her tissue. "There's only been six other cases and
nobody knows what to do," said O'Connor. She's moving to a hospice now and
one day soon, she'll have to say goodbye to the one true love of her life.
"I made a promise when we got engaged that I wasn't going to let her leave
the world without her being my wife," said Patrick O'Connor. He made good
on that promise in a wedding ceremony at Methodist Hospital. "Life goes by
so fast. In an instant, it really does. One day you're 20 years old and
starting your life. Next thing you know, you're 37, you have three children and
God's calling you home," said Sonya. "The days are numbered. They
are. Can't avoid it, can't stop it. Can't do anything about it," said
Patrick. Except make the most of the precious time they have left.
