When my friend Phil was diagnosed with cancer, I had planned to conduct an interview with him. A type of time capsule holding his voice & story for the loved ones left behind.

We knew that, whether he lived or died…it had to be accomplished. We made a plan and set the date.

But, it never happened. He was gone only twelve days later.

Throughout that hurricane called cancer, there was an ever-present and unmoveable figure always by Phil’s side; his beautiful wife Jessica.

She was there for all of it. Even the last breath.

She is now the author of Phil’s story, and her part to play within it is just as moving and powerful. It was Jess that came to me with the request to share, and I was more than happy to oblige.

Jessica: Silent warrior. Loyal mother. Peace personified.

I asked her this question:

“Are you still married?

“Yes. I still wear my ring. I am still married. I am still in love with Phil”

Please listen to this human story, share it, and then go tell someone you love them.

P.S. Phil, I love you.
