Thoughts and stories, by Pal

Today I want to re-share a blog about my dear departed husband, Wayne!  It was written just after he started radiation for esophageal cancer, on August 29th, 2015, and he lived to February, 21, 2016, about 6 months.       This is one of my favorite photos of him, his missionary photo, 1950. 491. My husband Wayne D Eckman, twin with Blaine, has esophageal cancer, dialysis, and 9 lives! Wayne D Eckman, and his 9 lives!   He will be 85 this September 18th, and on September 24th we will have been married 60 years.  I want to record our latest adventure with my husband Wayne D Eckman, and add updates often.   He started radiation for esophageal cancer just yesterday, and had a treatment again today, and also today will have a dialysis treatment.   This entry below was only the 3rd entry I put in my new blog, which I started Nov. 14, 2013.  Then I will add some recent history. ------------------ ...

This is a picture taken May 15, 2015, about 3 months before we found he had cancer.  We were at the Temple for our grandson Sam's wedding.  He had on the tie he loved, that our son Wayne had handmade especially on his mission in Ecuador, 40 years before.  It was hand woven, and had woven in the back "From your missionary."  Our son Wayne now has that tie.  Wayne wore it on special occasions. This was first posted on August 29th, 2015, after we found out Wayne had esophageal cancer.  He survived almost 6 months after that, even though he had radiation.   Wayne D Eckman, and his 9 lives!   He will be 85 this September 18th, and on September 24th we will have been married 60 years.  I want to record our latest adventure with my husband Wayne D Eckman, and add updates often.   He started radiation for esophageal cancer just yesterday, and had a treatment again today, and also today will have a dialysis treatment.   T...
