It is to my great sorrow that I must write that Kmom, aka Pamela Vireday my wife, passed away on May 23 from complications due to ALK Positive Lung Cancer (non-smoking lung cancer). Her four children were singing to her at the moment, and we were all together at the time.
She never wrote about her cancer here, wanted to keep that issue out of this blog. But as she researched her cancer she found the blogs and information from other cancer patients, and she found comfort in what they wrote. So she created another blog to help others, as part of her legacy too. https://cancercontinuum.blogspot.com/
We will keep these blogs active for a long long time. She left over 163(!) drafts for this particular blog alone, so there is plenty of material available. I am hoping for a future editor to take over the blog because this is not my area of expertise.
Let me thank you in advance for your condolences and sympathies, and know that we her family are okay at the moment. Moving forward from this point is always hard, will be ups and downs. But we are together and she is always with each of us.
For you dear reader, she would say take care of yourself too. Light a candle, meditate, hit pool noodles together, have squirt gun fights, talk to someone who will listen. Do what you need to do to mourn. And use the information you find here as you need, to carry on the purpose of this blog in your own ways.
Signed, Richard Vireday. Loving Husband, Father to our Children, Her Best Friend.
