On Friday September 3, at 3:30 p.m. I lost my husband, Bruce C. Davison, to lung cancer. We were married 42 years. We have one wonderful son and daughter-in-law who gave us two beautiful granddaughters. I am so fortunate to have them to love and be loved by.
Bruce was a loving father and husband and loved people. He loved reading and was a walking encyclopedia. He loved words, politics and statistics. He enjoyed puzzles and wood carving. He had found a new love in drama at our church. He was pretty good at it. I am glad we purchased DVDs so that I can share them with the girls when they are older.
Saturdays were special to both of us because we would sit and visit and talk. We had great talks on Saturday. I will truly miss our talks. It was a time to visit, discuss the world events, the Bible and just read to each other.
Bruce had quit smoking more than 17 years ago, but it still wasn't enough. On March 6, 2009, he had lung surgery. He had a portion of his left lung removed. He went through several chemo treatments, and maybe, he did gain some time. He prayed that God would give him five more years to spend with the family. The answer he wanted was not to be.
Bruce believed in the Lord and even though he questioned what had transpired he never got mad at the Lord. He always said that he made the decision to smoke. He was very strong and fought a good fight up to the last moment.
I want to encourage all who smoke to quit. Do it for yourself, do it for your love ones. Do it for your creator as he gave us a perfect body and we should try to take the best care of it as we can.
So long my friend, my love, my darling. I will truly miss you. You are in good hands now. May you rest in peace.
Your loving wife,
Sandy
