My wife and I have a very good friend. She married a very obese man, put herself through law school, made a very respectable career for herself, contributed primarily to the household income, and bore him two beautiful children. He had surgery, lost a lot of weight, suddenly decided he was now god's gift to women. The wife learns she has cancer. He leaves her and hooks up with some ... interloper. He convinces the divorce court that he's the better parent, since she's dying. He takes the kids out of their beautiful Victorian home, hundreds of miles away to live in a trailer with the mistress. Since then, he has been stringing out the court proceedings waiting for the wife to die, all the whole poisoning the minds of her children against her. MD Anderson has done all it can. It's been five years. A more villainous thing could not happen to a lovelier person. My wife stays in touch with her via Facebook. The lady keeps a very positive attitude, at least publicly. God bless your friend. Keep in touch with her. Let her know you still care. There's nothing more you can do, and it will be a blessing to her. My prayers to you too, AP.
