This is a true story about the life author Rutherford "Rusty" C. Thomas shared with his wife, Lisa Marie Thomas, the happiness they enjoyed together, and the events that changed it all forever. A story of faith, courage, and determination, this book tells of two people of different generations who each prayed for someone who could love them-and God heard their prayers and gave them sixteen years to learn to love one another through the good times and the hard times that would bring them closer together. While it is a heartrending story about love and loss, it is also a moving tribute to an extraordinary woman as well as a treasure chest of lessons learned that will serve to help others avoid some of the bad decisions and benefit from the good ones Rusty and Lisa made in their difficult journey with cancer. Among the most important of these lessons, which includes advice about taking charge of your health, making decisions regarding doctors and procedures, and reaching out for help, is the importance of discussing end-of-life issues with your partner well before you expect to have to face this prospect.

Lisa told Mark that she and two ladies from work won a four-day holiday trip to Myrtle Beach. For some good reason, Mark, after leaving early from work, runs into Martha, his one-time girlfriend from college, who happened to be John's sister. Martha, it seemed, was there to feed the fish and tidy up John's house. He invited Mark inside while she did the chores she had gone there to do for John. As Mark was standing by a small serving bar talking to Martha, he looked down and saw two verification tickets, one for an airline and another for a four-day hotel stay in Myrtle Beach.
