Read what Jeff's wife, Rhonda, had to say about what they look forward to:
When Jeff was diagnosed, we decided to take a trip for our upcoming anniversary. We didn’t know how many anniversaries we would have left together, so we decided to rent a condo on the beach in Destin, Florida.
At one point during the trip, I remember thinking to myself that I wanted to have a photo. We walked down to the beach, and I had Jeff stand in the sand while I drew a big heart around him. I put the year, and how many years we were married.
Because Jeff has responded to his treatments, this trip became a tradition for us. We have gone back every year since then and have taken the same picture in the same spot, drawing the same heart in the sand. It gives us hope and reason to look forward.
