Ellicia died today. 3:20 PM. It was a long day, but the end was... peaceful. And heart-wrenching. She was told it was ok to go... but, she's stubborn you know...She's gone now. No more of the horrible hideous pain... for her.
Rest, in peace, my love... my friend... my companion. I will always love you... and I miss you more than you know. I am so happy you hurt no more, but I am selfish for one last twinkly smile, one last laugh, one last kiss.
You were a beautiful, strong, incredible woman whom I was blessed to know and share some time with. I will miss all that we left undone together, yet I look forward to what will come - one day.
I love you, Ellicia.

Sorry to hear about your loss. May God be with you and your family.
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:
one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him
he looked back, at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life
there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned the LORD about it: "LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you most you would leave me."
The LORD replied:
"My son, My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you, During your times of trial and suffering,
when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
May God bless you
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'll be keeping you and your family in my prayers.
God be with you.
You have a beautiful family; your wife will be helping you raise them in ways none of us can understand. I wish you all peace and God's grace in your difficult time.
Very sorry for your loss. Hugs and prayers for you and your children. God doesn't make mistakes. It's all part of His plan. May He comfort you. She lives on through us all.

Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them everlasting rest."
I share your sorrow in this time. Please know that many of us online have heard of her struggle and wish you all of God's peace and comfort in this time.
God bless you and your kids. May HIs peace be with you.
Sorry, you're going through what I, and I suppose, every decent husband has for their nightmare. May God give you peace and comfort and to your children as well.

Reid,
'bout 15 years ago my wife passed away at 32 yrs old..
I just want you to know there is peace for you not far down the road, and you really do end up just smiling and remembering the good times... it's hard for a while but not for as long as you might think...
I remember wondering about these things, so I thought I'd give you my experience, and I hope it helps..
Blessings to you and your children

Damn, guy, my condolences. I've lost a couple of friends to that beast, but I cannot imagine the pain of losing a wife.
For what it's worth, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
My wife died in my arms when I was 23 and the following verses provided much comfort...
17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. 18 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34
May God bring ease the pain of your loss and bring comfort to your family.

My sincerest condolences to you and your family ~ God Bless
I'm constantly amazed at the lack of ability the English language has to convey sympathy and concern in times of emotional distress. Or maybe it'sd just that so many of us are so very uncomfortable with the idea of loss that our own intellectual abilities fail us during these times.
Not that the distinction matters -- we still hurt, and those around us feel so completely inadequate to emote, assist, or even just "be there" for others.
And while it's unfortuante for me that I have more than a little experience in these areas, I hope this hard-won advice might be of some comfort to you:
1.) She truly is in a better place. There are no tears there; no pain or sorrows, and she'll be waiting for you there. She's happy now.
2.) Don't let Anyone tell you to "move on" or "Get Over it." You never get over it -- you just learn how to live with it a little better each day and adapt.
3.) Don't be afraid to pray. God hears you, and Loves you, and hurts just as much as you do with her passing -- for your sake. He cares, and He will provide for you.
4.) Know that there's literally thousands, even Tens of Thousands of people out here praying for you and your family. Let us know what we can do to help -- we'll be there.
~~John~~
May it be of some comfort to you and your family to know that there are more people out here that mourn your loss than you realize! I know... I'm one of them! My deepest sympathies!
Why some go forward before us, we never really know. To relieve her pain? To deepen your strength, or ask others to share your burden?
The plan is revealed when we join our loved ones in the next life. Like children, we won't know until then.
Cherish the love you shared. You will relive it in a shining place.
My family's prayers are with you and yours today. I share this poem with you to help you through your trial.
"I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says, “There, she is gone!”
“Gone where?”
Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side, and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says, “There, she is gone!” there are others watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: “Here she comes!”
And that is dying."
Author--Henry Van Dyke
Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers. You have went thru much the last year and half. May God's arms enfold you and give you the comfort you deserve.
G_d bless you and your family, and may you know peace in the time to come.
I know what it is like to lose someone you care about at this time of year (mine was 26 years ago, this very morning), although, it too was a release from his pain.

I'm so sorry for your loss, my prayers are with you at this time...

God bless you all.
My condolences on the loss of your wife. May your memories offer you comfort during the times ahead. May she rest in peace.

I am so sorry and I Pray that you and your family can find comfort
Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
Stay strong soldier. You'll link up again some day.
Until then, Charlie Mike. We need you here.
He Only Takes the Best
God saw she was getting tired
And a cure was not to be.
So He put his arms around her
And whispered, "Come with Me."
With Tear filled eyes
We watched her suffer and fade away
Although we loved her deeply,
We could not make her stay.
A Golden Heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands put to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

Rest in peace Ellisa.

I just learned of you and your family today on
Michelle Malkin's sight. My heart is filled with
tears for you and your children. How blessed you
are to know that you truly loved and were loved by
a woman of great depth and kindness.
As a person who lost a parent in my teenage years
I always take comfort in the fact that I may have
had my father for a short time but his influence in
my life has lasted a lifetime.
I pray for your children that their mother's nurturing, wisdom, and bravery will take root
and continue to give them strength and good character.
With G-d's love and protection,

I had to say goodbye to the love of my life almost 14 years ago the same way you had to yesterday. She was young, vibrant and full of life.
After reading your goodbye note, a knot formed in my throat and my eyes became wet, very similarly to the times I am reminded of my dear Joan.
My heart breaks for you.
Sending prayers and thoughts from Atlanta. Be strong.....
That hit me like a ton of bricks! Know I'm thinking of you and your family.
May God comfort you & your children. Surely she is in a better place. Be strong my friend...

Peace be with you and your children.

Im so sorry for your loss. It's just so unfair.
God bless you and your children.
SC, So So Sorry to hear of your lose. I have been following your blog for many months. I had been looking for milblogs. I spent many many hours in your archives and was
glad you decided to return to the states. I know how wonderful it is overseas (my husband is retired Air Force and my son is currently serving) but E would get better care at home. I'm sure it was a hard transition for all tho. Your story is very similiar to Atomictumor.com who lost his wife to a quick illness last month. He also has small children. Maybe you both could help each other. You have been a wonderful husband and father. Thank you for your service.
"... joy and sorrow are inseparable. . . together they come and when one sits alone with you . . . remember that the other is asleep upon your bed."
I am so very, very sorry for your loss.

Love and prayers to your entire family. No words can describe your hurt, I only pray your memories of the great times you indicated, will comfort you when needed.
God Bless you and your family. Ellicia took a part of your heart with her and she left a part of hers with you. You will never really lose her.
You are all in my prayers.

There is nothing I can say that hasn't already been said. I am terribly sorry for you and your family's loss. I lost my dad, and his brother - my uncle, to cancer. They were the ones I admired the most in the family. My pain was terrible, as I know yours must be. But know this: the Lord is with her, watching and keeping her, welcoming her to his side. She is with Him, looking down upon you and your family, keeping watch for you. You will see her again, in the fullness of time. Be strong until then.
May your precious memories of your wife and mother forever flood your soul.
May God bless you and keep you.
*tearful hugs*
And now she rests the finest rest of all
fine and sweet she is now kept
in the folds of God's robe
from there she watches over you and your children
from there God graces her a most smooth peace that only residence with Him can grant
and with all quarrels of will to live and fiery pain that only death could silence now eternally settled
she devotes full time her protection over those she loved more than herself
through my tears of sorrow for losing her, a wife and mother whose voice I never heard
whose kindnesses I personally never felt
but I felt I knew because of her
loving husbands dedication and
abiding faith in their everlasting love
I can take some solace and am quick to say out loud that yes, I feel it
deep and true
she is smiling down on her beautiful children
on her amazing husband
and is rejoicing in her freedom
to spread her wings over all and each of you
bearing the power and strength of God in each arm
and be with you in every moment
of the rest of your land bound lives still amongst the rest of us
and with every flickering reddened leaf
with every bending blade of dewy grass
with every stride of the hawk's cry
with every burble of a content wave touching the sleeping beach
with every whisper of why from your children's lips that finds good the answer the twinkling star in the night does speak
for it is her voice that sings
and so there she will be
forever and until
you each and all join her
safe and bright in the folds
of God's robe

Words are pretty inadequate when someone has lost a special person. Our prayers will now be for you and your beautiful children as we know your wife is now with God.
Just know that even in bad times, good things come. Not that this takes away the bad, nothing could but rather that God still has His hand your life and that of your precious children.
Reid, our hearts go out to you. We'll be praying the angels will be ministering to you. That God's peace will overwhelm you.
I was just reading this yesterday;
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
Rev 21.4 (NIV)
May the Lord care for you and your
beautiful family at this sad time.
My deepest sympathy to you and your children. I can only imagine the loss and void in your life that you feel right now. I pray that God will give you strength, will and determination to face the days ahead. Be strong for yourself as well as your children. I wish you the best. God Bless.
A fellow Virginian

I am so very sorry for the passing of Ellicia -- for you, your children, your family and friends.
As with the other 199 and more commenters to come, you have all of my prayers, wishes and everything else good I can send your way.
May God be with you and your children and keep watch over you.

God I'm so sorry. I'm trying to keep from bawling like a little kid at my desk right now, God bless you and the kids and let us know how to help.
Prayers for comfort for your family will keep coming your way from this stranger. I have been touched and inspired by your wifes grace and bravery. And yours.
I am so sorry. I can't tell you the devastation I felt when I read this post. I have been checking back periodically, since reading about you at Michelle Malkin. I guess I had this idea that because we all knew and cared, nothing bad would happen. We do care, even if you don't know us. You and your family are loved. Take care friend.
Reid, I just now saw your post. There is solace in knowing that Ellicia's pain is finally over, but I am so very sorry for the pain you and the kids are now enduring. We will be praying for God's peace, comfort, strength and healing for you and the family in the days to come.
Let us know if there is anything at all that we can do for y'all.

I don't know you, but I read your story, sir. Your story touched my heart. Your wife is in my deepest prayers.
I'm saddend to hear of your wife's death. My family and I are praying for you.
The love you share with your dear wife is a forever inspiration and model for me. I will go home and hug my Angel tighter tonight.
My prayers are that God will give you and those beautiful children peace until you are all together again in an earth made new.

prayers for you and your family.
I don't know you but saw a comment on Smash's blog. I've lost family members to cancer as well. It's a horrible disease that hurts family members as well as the person who has it. I'm very, very sorry for your loss and will keep you and your family in my prayers.
